This series examines the important issue of the significance of arbitrary borders in world history These studies describe arbitrary borders as places where people interact differently from the way they would had the boundary not existed. Begun as a survey line that marked the border between Maryland and Pennsylvania, the Mason-Dixon Line evolved into a symbol of the tension and fear of a nation torn apart by civil war.
