Yeah that one could be argued either way really

He was south of the Mason-Dixon Line, but back then that line divide free states and slave owning states. Only in more recent times has it become known as a divide between north and south.

Maryland was a slave owning state but it never seceded or joined the Confederacy. It was very much so caught in the middle of the Union and Confederacy
