Obviously our avocation or vocation involves Clarinets and not history.
Prior to the Louisiana Purchase was part of the Northwest Territories of the
original colonies. You have a great historical site in Oregon on the
Columbia River where Lewis and Clark wintered in 1805/6. That is when you
became the Pacific Northwest. And yes Maryland is a Southern state being
below the Mason-Dixon line, the line allowing slave states to be entered
into the Union until 1863.

I like History but neither Music or History paid the bills well enough.

Of course, since you live in New England, you probably consider Maryland
to be "down south".

Coming from Oregon, I am astonished every time I visit Minnesota and hear
that area referred to as "the northwest". Geographically speaking,
Minnesota is in the eastern half of the country!

It isn't just informal use, either. Consider Minneapolis-based Northwest
Airlines, which probably should have been called "Midwest Airlines"...
