It was a compliment! (and the fact that you can read Earp.)

If you cannot read Earp, then do not post to it then


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.

Tom, I have to disagree. It was originally put in place to end a boundary dispute between the British colonies of Maryland and Pennsylvania/Delaware. Basically, the three original land charters overlapped because the maps were wrong and the legal discriptions were confusing. The states were in place when the lines were drawn and surveyed....the only exception being that western Virginia was just a part of Virgina.....and wasn't referred to as West Virginia.
