Best Answer

Tidewater Colonies were those affected by the tidal surge coming in and out of bays and lowlands. This created a very good agricultural area known for growing rice and indigo. The colonies considered Tidewater colonies were Georgia and the Carolinas. A common misconception is that Virginia, Maryland, and these colonies were all Tidewater colonies. Virginia and Maryland were Chesapeake colonies, and their society was largely based off tobacco, whereas in the Tidewater indigo, rice, and sugar were major exports. Tobacco in reality did not grow as well in these colonies as it did in the Chesapeake.
