Southerners and Yankees still think differently. It's a cultural thing. They may not want to move to the other (Northern or Southern) half of the country for that reason. But by now they have learned to tolerate their differences, without trying to kill each other.

Actually it refers to the Maryland line in the Revolutionary War that saved the Continental Army from total defeat and capture when Washington was retreating from the British in what Is now New York. Washington himself recognised their contribution and the fact that they had saved his Bacon and probably the Revolution as well.
