If the Mason-Dixon Line could talk, here are the stories. It would
tell. Pulitzerprize winning reporter and travel writer Bill
Ecenbarger has walked the Mason-Dixon line - from its beginning on
Fenwick Island, Delaware, to its end at Brown's Hill, Pennsylvania
- diverting left and right to Interview the people who live along
its border. The line was surveyed between 1763 and 1768 by Charles
Mason and Jeremiah Dixon to settle a dispute between Robert Penn
and Lord Calvert, whose family owned what is now the state of
Maryland. In 1780, Pennsylvania passed a law to abolish slavery,
making the Mason-Dixon Line the divider between free and slave
states. From that moment, it also became a lightning rod for racial
conflict that continues to this day. This unique history/travelogue
examines the influence of this great divider, which remains the
most powerful symbol separating Yankee from Rebel, oatmeal from
grits, North from South.
