      Actually, "Dixie" is in reference to banknotes issued in Louisiana with "dix" (French for 'ten') on them. This actually predates Mason and Dixon by several decades. -Cheese (...) (25 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.org.us.dixielug)
    
         Re: News article about AFOL (from RTL) —Jeff Stembel
      (...) Originally, yes, I believe so (Dixie is a reference to the Dixon part of the Mason-Dixon Line, IIRC). However, Maryland does not consider itself "Dixie", nor does Virginia, AFAIK. To me, "Dixie" refers to Georgia and Alabama, mostly. Jeff (25 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.org.us.dixielug)
