The original Mason-Dixon LineThe Mason–Dixon Line (or "Mason and Dixon's Line") is a line of demarcation between four states in the United States. Properly, the Mason-Dixon line is part of the borders of Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, surveyed when they were still British colonies. After Pennsylvania began abolishing slavery within the Commonwealth, in 1781, this line, and the Ohio River, became most of the border between the free and slave states. Popular speech, especially since the Missouri compromise of 1820, uses the Mason-Dixon line symbolically as a supposed cultural boundary between the Northern United States and the Southern United States.

The bloodiest battle of the Civil War was fought in the state of Maryland, at Antietam near the Mason Dixon line. Maryland was considered a southern state because of it's location in repsect the Mason Dixon Line. There is a tree which still stands today on the banks of Antietam Creek, and which is the only living witness of the final battle scenes in which no winner could be declared.

The Mason Dixon line defines more than a mere geographical division. It is a division of spirit and soul in a country which aspires to be United.

Answer 3

Mason and Dixon's Line (often called the Mason-Dixon Line) is the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland, running at a north latitude of 39°43'19.11". The greater part of it was surveyed from 1763–1767 by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, English astronomers who had been appointed to settle a dispute between the colonies. As the line was partly the boundary between the free and the slave states, it has come to signify the division between the North and the South.
