Seriously, folks… The Northern states (mainly New England) used to run this country with a democratic iron fist because the south had no means of obtaining information. Now they had to go ahead and install cable internet in states like Tennessee and Texas. What gives? I mean, seriously, southerners should be happy with a trailer, a six-pack of Red Dog, and a BB Gun for ‘shootin’ squirrels’ (direct quote from a Kentuckian).

The Line that Divided the North and South
Alhough the Mason-Dixon line is most commonly associated with the division between the northern and southern (free and slave, respectively) states during the 1800s and American Civil War-era, the line was delineated in the mid-1700s to settle a property dispute. The two surveyors who mapped the line, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, will always be known for their famous boundary.
In 1632, King Charles I of England gave the first Lord Baltimore, George Calvert, the colony of Maryland. Fifty years later, in 1682, King Charles II gave William Penn the territory to the north, which later became Pennsylvania. A year later, Charles II gave Penn land on the Delmarva Peninsula (the peninsula that includes the eastern portion of modern Maryland and all of Delaware).
The description of the boundaries in the grants to Calvert and Penn did not match and there was a great deal of confusion as to where the boundary (supposedly along 40 degrees north) lay.

The Mason-Dixon Line separates the states of Maryland and Pennsylvania. The line was surveyed by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon between 1763 and 1767 to settle land claims not only for Maryland and Pennsylvania, but also Maryland and Deleware. The term Mason-Dixon Line has come to symbolize cultural differnences in the US since the early 1800′s.
