There are various theories to explain the name of Dixie to refer to the Confederate states:
From songs sung by black slaves about "Dixie's", the name of a slaveowner (possibly fictional) who treated slaves well.
From the Mason-Dixon Line (although as discussed on that page the position of Maryland is somewhat of a paradox).
