The Mason-Dixon line, named for Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, the surveyors who mapped it out, was originally the border between the colonies of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia (in present-day West Virginia).

What was the Mason-Dixon line about?
The Mason-Dixon Line was named after the two surveyors responsible for formalizing the border between Maryland and Pennsylvania, decades before the Civil War. It is a matter of luck that this imaginary line just so happened to more-or-less coincide with the division between North and South, with the exception that MD technically fought on the side of the Union, though popular opinion was greatly divided in that state.
Is the Mason-Dixon line a political boundary?
No, it happened to follow the border of Maryland and Pennsylvania, and divided slave country from free soil.And it wasn't the origin of 'Dixie', which was named after the widely-distributed ten-franc coin ('DIX') from when Louisiana was French.NEW ANSWER:The Mason and Dixon Line is usually thought of as the line that divides the North and South. Actually it is the east-west boundary line that separates Pennsylvania from Maryland and part of West Virginia, and the north-south boundary between Maryland and Delaware. Before the Civil War, the southern boundary of Pennsylvania was considered the dividing line between the slave and non-slave states.In the 1700's a boundary quarrel arose between Pennsylvania and Maryland. The two agreed to settle the dispute by having the land surveyed. In 1763, they called in two English astronomers, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon. They completed the survey in 1767. The line was named after them.The surveyors set up milestones to mark the boundary. Through the years souvenir hunters removed many of the stones and used them as doorsteps and curbstones. Authorities finally recovered many of them, however, and nearly replaced all of the stolen markers.
