Finally, on November 13, 1818, com- missioners were again appointed to run the line with commissioners from Worth Carolina 245 On this occasion North Carolina acceded to Georgia's request, and the line thus run, corresponding with the line that had been agreed upon in 1807, was ratified and confirmed by North Carolina in 1819, 246 and ac- quiesced in by Georgia.
