"backcountry family " is rather hard to define precisely. I would say that Andrew Jackson, Milllard Fillmore, James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln , Andrew Johnson and Harry Truman might be said to come from backcountry families. Martin VanBuren, James Garfield , Herbert Hoover , Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon , Gerald Ford and Bil Clinton also have some claim to a backcountry familiy, I think. Maybe even Jimmy Carter.
Life was hard for settlers of the backcountry. The rocky uneven land made farming difficult. There were few rivers on which to transport goods. The Piedmont couldn't be reached by water,and colonists had to travel by land following trails made by the Native Americans.Most people who settled the backcountry made houses from roughly cut logs. Many people carried rifles wherever they went and spent most of the day hunting. While life was hard,there were families who became wealthly.Two United States Presidents,James K.Polk and Andrew Jackson,came from families that settled the backcountry Hope This Helps Ya! xD
I think that it was more important because they can band together when danger threatens. They also help families to deal with the dangers and problems of the Backcountry.
