    While true, Booth would be comsidered a southerner, being born below the Mason-Dixon line.

      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
