Mason and Dixon Line Boundary Mystery Explained
The Mason and Dixon line named for surveyors Charles Mason and John Dixon settled a Maryland Pennsylvania dispute. They surveyed in 1764 from England, placing mile markers with Penn and Calvert arms and P and M stones. The line later framed state slavery boundaries though not its original intent. Slavery in Pennsylvania ended in 1780 by a law freeing those born there after age twenty eight.
