Mason and Dixon were English surveyors who came over here to do land surveying. I don't think they knew at the time that their names would be associated with the North/South thing.
Interesting that it is self-proclaimed Northerners/Yankees who persist in this name calling business. It seems improvident to make claims like "the way Southerners hate people". Doesn't sound like me, and I'm a Southerner. Maybe it is just your family that is rude, but mine isn't. I would no sooner suggest a whole cohort of people "hate" than fly to the moon.
My aunt grew up in Michigan but has lived in Greenwille SC for 37 years. She has a different spin, she says that most "folks from the South" think that Yankees look down on them. Maybe it was that way many years ago, but not today. I have NEVER seen a Confederate flag flying in anyone's yard in Wisconsin, I lived here nearly all my life, and have the state from top to bottom.........
