Geologically, the Appalachian Mountains are millions of years older than the Rocky Mountains. The Appalachians formed back when the Super Continent was breaking apart. Scientists believe they once contained active volcanos, given there is ignous rocks in PA. The Grand Canyon of PA is older than the Grand Canyon of the west.
Socially, and Militarily, the Appalachian Mountains posed a great barrier to settlers. Most walked, following ancient footpaths of Indians along ridges, or took one pack horse, or an ox-driven wagon. Today, travel through the mountains is still a challenge, given fog in any season, and winter ice and snow.
Economically, the mountains fed into the Whiskey Rebellion. Farmers could make whiskey easier than shipping crops to the east over mountains. But the government wanted to tax this lucrative business. Their protest is "history".
