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.
The "Deep South" included Georgia, southern Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, north Louisiana, and East Texas. The term refers to a cultural and geographic subregion in the southern US. These states also known as the "Cotton States" due to high numbers of large cotton plantations.
deep south is a place where they sold slaves to make money
The abolishment of slavery can be described as a major disadvantage to the cotton production in the deep southern part of the United States. The Civil War itself was also a major disadvantage to cotton production because many plantations were burned along with the cotton crop.
might be separated from your family
One danger of being sold to plantations in the deep south was the harsh and brutal working conditions faced by enslaved individuals, including long hours of labor, physical punishment, and poor living conditions. Additionally, families were often separated, leading to emotional trauma and a loss of cultural identity.
The further downriver, the more brutal the slave-drivers. Hence the menacing threat that you would be 'sold down the river'. Jefferson Davis was an exception, that he farmed in Mississippi (although born in Kentucky), and treated his slaves so well that they didn't want their freedom.

When Aunt Chloe said "ain't nobody coming back from down river" in Uncle Tom's Cabin, she was referring to the danger and uncertainty associated with being sold "down the river" to the harsher conditions of plantations in the Deep South. This phrase symbolized the separation of families and the brutal reality of slavery, where individuals often faced unimaginable suffering and were unlikely to return.
