Northeast State Mottoes and Nicknames

I found a list of state mottoes and nicknames (the italicized one is the officially adopted nickname) that should give us loads of ideas for future blankets:

Connecticut - "He who transplanted sustains", Constitution State, Land of Steady Habits, Nutmeg State, Provisions State

Delaware - "Liberty and Independence", Diamond State, First State, Land of Tax-Free Shopping (my personal favorite, it's on all of the signs when you drive into DE ), Small Wonder, Blue Hen State or the Blue Hen's Chicken

Maine - "I direct", The Border State, Down East, Pine Tree State, Vacationland

Maryland - "Manly deeds, womanly words", Cockade State, Free State, Monumental State, Old Line State, Terrapin State, Crab State

Massachusetts - "By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty", Bay State, The Commonwealth, Colony State, Old Colony, Taxachusetts

New Hampshire - "Live Free or Die", Granite State, Mother of Rivers, White Mountain State

New Jersey - "Liberty and prosperity", Garden State, The Crossroads of the Revolution, The Tomato State, First State Lite (because the first light bulb was invented in Menlo Park)

New York - "Ever upward", The Empire State

Pennsylvania - "Virtue, Liberty, and Independence", Liberty Bell State, Independence State, Keystone State, Quaker State

Rhode Island - "Hope", Little Rhody, Ocean State, Plantation State

Vermont - "Freedom and Unity", Green Mountain State
