Point of order Delaware is not below the Mason-Dixon line. The Mason-Dixon line separates the western edge of Delaware from Maryland. The Transpeninsular Line separates the southern edge of Delaware from Maryland. The Mason-Dixon turns down at the corner near the Twelve-Mile Circle

(the Mason-Dixon line was surveyed from 1763-1767 to settle the land dispute at the heart of Cresap's War between Pennsylvania and Maryland. It has nothing to do with slavery or the Confederacy despite popular conception. MD and DE were both Union slave states on opposite sides of the Mason-Dixon)
