Established to calm intracolonial tensions, the Mason-Dixon Line first marked a region of breakneck development and Native American resistance, then the boundary between pro- and antislavery regimes. Edward Gray's is the first comprehensive history of the line and its dynamic role in the US from the colonial period to the Civil War--and beyond.
