idk tell me NOW!!
The backcountry's rugged terrain and isolation made it less suitable for large-scale plantation agriculture that relied on slavery. The small farms and homesteads in the backcountry preferred free labor due to the lower demand for labor compared to the labor-intensive cash crops of the tidewater. Additionally, the backcountry tended to attract a more independent-minded population that did not rely as heavily on enslaved labor.

i believe its called a plantation.
Tidewater planters were wealthy, relied on enslaved labor, and cultivated cash crops like tobacco and rice in the coastal regions. Backcountry farmers were more self-sufficient, lived in the inland areas, and grew crops for subsistence rather than for trade. They often had smaller farms and a more independent lifestyle compared to the planters.

The tension between the regions rested in part on their economic differences. Many of the upcountry folk were subsistence farmers. Although a few owned slaves, they did not have large plantations, and most worked their farms without the assistance of slave labor.
