Some context would help.

"Dixie Land" or just "Dixie" is a term used to refer to the southern United States. The exact origin of the term is not known; a couple of suggestions are that it's related to the "Dixon" in the Mason-Dixon line or that it derives from "dix", French for "ten", and has something to do with ten-dollar notes printed in New Orleans.

"Dixieland" run together as one word usually refers to a style of music. Think back on any movie you've ever seen featuring a band playing "When the Saints Go Marching In" in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. That's Dixieland.
