246.2 "This case, Uncle, languish'd in court for eighty years, yet just when
Mason and Dixon happen to find themselves nicely between Transits of Venus,
suddenly ev'ryone agrees there shall be a Survey in America. Aren't you at

Funny, too, that the Line is finally commissioned just as the War for
Independence is about to begin. A war woven through by the issue of
slavery - tightly binding it to the Civil War, which, of course, was pitched
across that same line.
