The Maryland anthem dates back to the American Civil War. Even today it still speaks of the “scum from the north”. Now the US state has decided to use a different song in the future.
The US state of Maryland has abolished its official anthem “Maryland, My Maryland”. The song is a “relic” of the Southern Confederation, said Governor Larry Hogan. The state’s Democratic-controlled parliament voted earlier this year to abolish the controversial anthem. Hogan, a moderate Republican, agreed, saying the song was “clearly out of date and yesterday”.
