The Mason Dixon line is between Pa. and Maryland. Said to be the dividing line between the Yankee Northern States and the Southern States.
Folks from either side are generally said to identified by their regional accent and level of social skill.

While thoroughly discussed and already stated (loc of Mason-Dixon Line) in earlier posts, I will note that Maryland and Virginia - while technically below the Mason-Dixon Line, are generally regarded as Mid-Atlantic states. They make up two-thirds of the DelMarVa peninsula.

A Yankee is from New England and the ONLY states that are part of New England are:::::
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
People from these states are true Yankees. People from other states are not.

Angry yankee

My parents moved from Ohio to Virginia in 1985. They had a underground house built there and they had a hard time finding anyone who construct it. They said they dont work for Yankees.
