Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the proposal introduced into the Maryland state legislature that the nine counties of Maryland’s eastern shore should vote on seceding from Maryland in November 2026 to see if they wish to form the new state of “Mardelva”. What issue prompted such a proposal? Why is this is a good idea? What mind-blowing mistake did the legislator who proposed this idea make in the aftermath of the defeat of his proposal? What do the local people who live in these Eastern Shore counties need to do in order to make Mardelva become a reality?
