Because the newly-rich Southern planters dreamed that they were Knights of Chivalry, living on their feudal estates - while the Northerners were building the most modern democracy on earth, helped by new immigrants with industrial skills.

How did important physical features affect native Americans?

One example of the way the differences in the Native American ways of life were influenced by geography is the physical properties of the Earth's surface when the soil where Native American tribes lived was found to have too many rocks in the soil which hindered the growth of corn (maize) the Native Americans planted to sustain themselves which forced them to move the entire tribe to another location where there was better soil and water to be had. Native Americans lived off the land and some lived off the animals which were plentiful where they lived. Native American tribes only took from the land that which they needed to sustain themselves and tilled (turned the soil) the land for planting corn or other plants such as hemp to weave into ropes. One way to look at the Native American tribes is they were stewards of the land and being such were conservationists. This way of life for Native Americans in the American plains was taken from them by the western migration of people from the East coast all the way to the west coast using the U.S. Army to eradicate the Native American population and take their land from them which later led to Native American tribes being forced from their ancestral lands to reservations which didn't have the necessary geography for them to sustain themselves. It appears the Navajo were fortunate to have been sent to a reservation which had the geography they needed to sustain themselves. The Navajo tribe is still living on the reservation and using the land for their sustenance and livelihood.
