Kentucky and Missouri also were represented on the Stars and Bars Confederate flag. The Mason-Dixon line divided free states from slave states, not the states of secession from the rest of the country. You are correct in that there are various takes on the exact definition. But generally, north of Mason-Dixon = free; south of Mason-Dixon = slave. Hence, in 1861, virtually the entire nearly 1,000 miles of the Ohio River could be called an extension of the Mason-Dixon line. The Kentucky-Tennessee border was not meaningful, since both states were slave states.
