Word Origin: Dixie

The word DIXIE almost always refers to United States residents who reside or imbibe the spirit of one who lives south of the Mason-Dixon Line. From this arbitrary boundary segregating the American north from the south, we still find today many of the left over animosities from the civil war that rent the United States less than a century after the battle for Independence. A Confederate war song went by the title: “I Wish I Was in Dixie”. Written by D. D. Emmett, the song is said to have spawned the description of the south as Dixie.
