In any regard I think this is a pretty cool reckoning back to a different time:



"A "crownstone" boundary monument on the Mason-Dixon Line. These markers were originally placed at every 5th mile along the line, oriented with family coats of arms facing the state that they represented. The coat of arms of Maryland's founding Calvert family is shown. On the other side are the arms of William Penn." -Wikipedia
And it really has nothing to do with the Civil War, or the boundary between North & South...it's simply the PA-MD border, which were fixed during the colonial era.

Although the Bugs Bunny cartoon with Yosemite Sam as the rebel ("YANKEES!") was quite funny.
