The mason Dixon Line had nothig to do with slavery at the time is was done by the two surveyors, Mason and Dixion. It was set up to divide the States in a concentrict lay out for future expansion.
It became in use late during the Civil War. The Media even back then had much to do with giving people the news that they wanted to print.
The Masopn Dixon line ran parallel to the bottom of Penn. and West to the known area at the time. It was a starting point for expansion only.
Now, what about the States that were beyond the Western Boundry of their survey?
Study harder and see what you find.
