I am pleased to announce that Delaware Humanities has selected my new talk, \u201cThe Mason-Dixon Line: An Enduring Boundary in American History<\/a>,\u201d for inclusion in the 2024-25 Speakers Bureau and Visiting Scholars program. This lecture delves into the fascinating and complex history of the Mason-Dixon Line\u2014an enduring boundary that is deeply etched into the American landscape and our nation\u2019s collective memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this talk, I explore the original story of the Mason-Dixon Line, which began as a survey aimed at resolving a contentious territorial dispute over royal land grants. From there, we examine how the line’s significance has evolved over time and its lasting influence on popular culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
