Technically, the Mason-Dixon line simply established the boundary that cut between Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. It came to symbolize the cultural divide between slave economies and free economies. At the time the line was drawn, however, slavery was legal in nearly all parts of the country.

The Mason-Dixon Line is sometime confused with the line (36 degrees 30 minutes north) of the Missouri Compromise; that line was intended to limit the growth of slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War.
