How was life in the tide water different from life in the backcountry south?
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.
When did South Carolina secede from the union in the civil war and why?
It was before the war. As soon as Lincoln won the Election of 1860, South Carolina called a convention where everyone voted for secession. They claimed that slavery was protected by the Constitution, and Lincoln was likely to prevent the creation of any new slave-states. Other Southern states joined them, and soon the war was on.

Why is Lincoln's election so important?
The fact that Lincoln won the election rather than his opponent was one of the immediate triggers of the Civil War.

What is the meaning of the idiom It all depends on whose ox is being gored?
The idiom is "it depends on whose ox is being gored." The meaning is that we are more likely to take offense to a dubious comment or action when that comment or action is directed against what we see as our own interests. For example, we might think that it is inappropriate to call the president of the United States a 'pig-faced liar,' if we support that president. If the same comment is directed at a president we don't support, we are more likely to overlook it or even defend it.
