Does Maryland still spurn the Northern scum?

James Ryder Randall, Poet Laureate of the Lost Cause
Last stanza of "My Maryland":

I hear the distant thunder-hum,
Maryland!
The Old Line's bugle, fife, and drum,
Maryland!
She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb-
Huzza! she spurns the Northern scum!
She breathes! she burns! she'll come! she'll come!
Maryland! My Maryland!
