The Mason-Dixon Line became famous initially as the boundary between the colonial territories of Pennsylvania and Maryland, established in the 1760s by surveyors Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon. Its significance grew during the 19th century as it came to symbolize the cultural and political divide between the Northern and Southern states, particularly over issues like slavery. The line re-emerged in American consciousness during the Civil Rights Movement as a marker of racial and regional tensions. Thus, its fame is rooted in both its historical surveying purpose and its broader socio-political implications.
