  1. an informal name for the southern states of the US that fought against the north in the American civil war
    CultureThe name came from the song Dixie but has never been fully explained. It may refer to the imaginary Mason-Dixon Line that separates the North from the South.
  2. the battle song of the Confederate States. It was written in 1859 in New York as Dixie's Land by Daniel Emmett, who was later upset that it became the 'Confederate national anthem. Dixie was, however, a favourite song of Abraham Lincoln. It begins: I wish I was in the land of cotton,Old times there are not forgotten;Look away, look away, look away,Dixie land!
