The Mason-Dixon Line was surveyed between 1763 and 1767 by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, hired by the British proprietors of Pennsylvania and Maryland to resolve a land dispute. Using celestial navigation and careful measurements, they established a boundary that ran along the northern border of Maryland, marking a significant cultural divide between the North and South. The survey utilized advanced techniques for the time, including the use of telescopes and precise measurements to ensure accuracy. The line became symbolic of the cultural and political differences between the two regions, particularly concerning slavery.
The Mason-Dixon Line primarily separates Pennsylvania and Maryland. It was originally established in the 1760s to resolve a border dispute between the two colonies. Over time, it became symbolic as a cultural boundary between the Northern and Southern United States, particularly in the context of slavery and the Civil War. The line also indirectly influences the borders of Delaware and West Virginia.
