Mostly, Maryland officials wanted to avoid fighting with both its southern and northern neighbors and thus voted not to secede — though they also asked Lincoln to remove the federal troops he had stationed there to protect the capital. This rural edges vs. There are certainly parts of Maryland that are affluent and liberal, mostly around the D.

But the Eastern Shore is not one of those areas, and anyone who is from there will say, unequivocally, that it is Southern. Consider a recent interactive map from The New York Times showing the voting precincts of each state in the election. Maryland is overwhelmingly red, red, red — except around D. The Eastern Shore is a solidly blue-collar, lower-middle- and working-class area, small towns populated by hard-working, simple people.

There are miles of farmland that provide sweet corn, ripe red tomatoes, asparagus, blueberries, peaches, and pumpkins, more cows than you would think, and acres of chicken coops; Perdue, one of the largest chicken-processing corporations, is headquartered a few miles from my high school. In the winter, those farmlands are leased for deer or duck hunting, another favorite pastime here; it was not unusual for boys I knew to be pulled out of school by their fathers in peak deer season.

There are a few city-ish areas, notably Salisbury, perhaps Cambridge, but these are nothing anyone would call metropolitan. And it is, notably, more conservative leaning. Maryland was a Catholic enclave, after all, which prevails still, and those boys I grew up with will die for their Second Amendment rights. Another Southern hallmark: The heat. Maryland is hot and humid in the summer, especially the Eastern Shore — flat as a board and evenly sweltering for miles north, south, west, and east until you hit the Atlantic Ocean.

Trees, where there are any, are scrubby pines; you have to make your own shade. At the beach, the ocean breeze offers some relief, but even just 15 minutes inland the heat settles into the hundreds, thick and oppressive. More than all that, though, there is a deep sense of pride in being from the Eastern Shore, the same type of stubborn pride one feels in most Southern states — it runs deep, rooted firmly in hometown ground.

We just do. Having lived in the Northeast for a decade now, I have never gotten that same sense from anyone from Connecticut, or Pennsylvania, or Vermont, or California. Ours is a jut-your-chin-out kind of pride that comes from knowing you are part of a line of hard-working, resilient people.

The Eastern Shore has that in spades. It took me a long time to feel it, and when I was younger, I rejected it. Only as I grew older did I feel that familiar tug pulling me all those miles back home. I have a handful of old friends who feel the same, but, like me, are drawn back year after year. Some end up staying. Maryland, my Maryland, for good or ill.

Eastern Shore Marylanders are not the only people who feel this way. Natural Light is one of the best-selling beers in America; as of , it was ranked No. In , Consumer Reports ranked it the No. Natty is overwhelmingly popular among college kids for its low price, and among light beer drinkers nationwide, also usually for its low price.

But that type of thinking leaves out large swaths of the population; like our politics, it puts us in a bubble. In much of the country, populism reigns in alcoholic beverages as well as ideologies. Many Americans proudly consider themselves Not Fancy. They still love the U. It was in the market two years before Bud Light. Of course, they changed their minds when Natural Light and other light beers took off; now, Bud Light is the best-selling beer in America by millions of dollars.

Because I like the way Natural tastes. Until Bud Light was introduced, Natural was a star child, priced nearly the same as other full-calorie beers and selling well. Then it was shunted off, gradually lowered in price and given less attention until it hit its status of today: one of the lowest-priced, least advertised beers on the market.
