Listen "Who Were Mr. Mason and Mr. Dixon?"
Episode Synopsis
We have all undoubtedly heard of the surveyors' final product; we might have even spoken of it. But did you know that the Mason-Dixon line that divided the Southerners from the Northerners was actually designed, marked, and implemented by the British - way before there ever was a United States? Enter two British Surveyors tasked with the project, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon. https://www.patreon.com/c/HistoryShortsPodcast Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
