	It would be better if you had the top 10 or so, and could guess in any order.

	Delaware in the south???

	Roxelana:	Mar 9th, 2011 at 01:00 GMT		1 point
	@kapper29, Yeah I think it belongs in the Northeast too along with Maryland, but the Census defines them as Southern and that's official enough to use as a source at least. But that's why I added the map, so people could see what states are in what region.

	Delaware and Maryland were slaveholding states.

	@MikeN, All of the original states were slave holding at one time, and even at the start of the Civil War New Jersey was still a slave state and I believe Pennsylvania and a few other northeastern states had a few slaves left over as part of deals they cut when they abolished it. Besides that, both Maryland and Delaware stayed with the Union and voted against secession. And today I'd say that the two states are clearly connected to and part of the North, you could argue it both ways. At the least they're transition or border states if nothing else.
