The total number of the white population of the upper south in 1860 was 4,464,501. The total number of the white population of the lower south in 1860 was 3,574,199.
In the upper south, agriculture was more sparse, with people producing their own vegetables, raising their own livestock, and making their living off of hunting deer, bears, cougars, etc. In the deep south, these were where the big plantations were located that held slaves to look after the big fields of cotton and tobacco. The soil down south was better quality than in the north of eastern USA, because the deep south didn't have the Appalachians and Adirondack mountains to work with.

why do you think the vote at the south Carolina convention of 1860 was unanimous
During those times, the South focused more on agriculture, farming, growing crops (cotton, tobacco, indigo, and rice), and found no need for factories. To them, slaves and land were what they should be their priority.
Only one state seceded in 1860, South Carolina.
The south was based on agriculture. Vast amounts of cotton, tobacco, rice, indigo, and other crops were the main industry besides slavery. One of the largest slave markets was in Charleston South Carolina. By 1860 there were 4 million slaves in the south.
