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.

∙ 13y agoThe states in the upper south like Virginia and Tennessee had been changing to grain crops such as wheat and corn. They had smaller farms. The states in the deep south like Mississippi and Georgia were still dependent on the old "plantation style" and were mostly dedicated to producing cotton and tobacco.
This is not to say that the lower states did not produce grain or that the upper regions did not grow cotton, it just shows that the South was changing in its agriculture as the North was changing industrially.
