The tidewater South was dominated by large plantations, which used slave labor on a massive scale in growing cash crops. The Southern backcountry was much poorer, and survived on small family farms. Most backcountry whites were too poor to own slaves, and generally grew enough to feed their families. After Abraham Lincoln was elected President, many in the tidewater South feared that Lincoln planned to end slavery, and were therefore the most vocal advocates of secession. Many backcountry southerners resented the rich planters of the tidewater, and were less likely to support secession. This divide even led a number of backcountry Virginia counties to secede from newly-secedeed Virgina, staying in the Union and forming the state of West Virginia.
Well , tide waters were plantations near ocean areas or close to rivers and Back country south was life in the country as you may notice, but they differ in the way of works or jobs that are done. Tidewaters can grow plants that need a lot of water. Where as the Back country can't. So they grow bread and other things like that. Tidewaters grow stuff like beans and tomatoes and those sort of things.
Why was life so different after the south lost especially because so few southerners actually owend slaves
Well first of all, the South was pratically destroyed after the Civil War, so they had reconsruction of the south which ended up at about 12 years...
Life in the South depended on the individual during the 1800s. Slaves had a very hard life while plantation owners were living the great life.
The plantations depended on slavery. The factories did not want slavery, couldn't use it, needed the free movement of skilled labour.
Life was harder by the NATIVE Americans always fighting you and the supplies from a wan harder to get
they were just different ok??!!?!? now stop asking! sheesh man!
The Tidewater region and the backcountry developed two different ways to life.
