Best Answer

the lines that separated the north and the south were the border states

If you mean the northern and southern states of USA then the Mason-Dixon line.

The Mason-Dixon line is the wrong answer. Maryland was in the north but is below the Mason-Dixon line. Thus proving the answer incorrect. This line was to divide Philly from Maryland. And was done prior to the conflict.

The true division of North and South is the 36 30 parallel plus Virginia. This is the line that started the debate over slavery. Where it could and could not exist. This is the line drawn in the sand which created the conflict. This is the line that shaped states and our country.

This could be two.

The Mason-Dixon line, separating Maryland (slave) from Pennsylvania (free).

Or the Missouri line - the parallel that marked Missouri's Southern border - North of which slavery was illegal, according to the Missouri Compromise of 1819.

It was officially the 36 degree North Latitude, but may people incorrectly refer to the Mason-Dixon line, which separated Maryland from Pennsylvania and Delaware.

The Mason - Dixon Line. It physically existed; a short stone wall running east to west, like a very feeble version of China's Great Wall.
