The colonists were initially found along the seacoast, from Maine to Florida, plus the major rivers such as the St Lawrence. As there were few roads heading inland, it was cheaper, faster, and safer to move by water than to carry / portage goods inland by horse or cart.

What was the The Back Country?

Yes. The original settlers were along the Tidewater, or the eastern coast of the colonial period. There are four such regions in the colonies as of the 1750s. First was the New England region, and was primarily interested in the logging in the wooded regions, and fishing. The Middle Colonies had more diversity, being this was the area of New Netherland before the Duke of York came. The Southern colonies prided themselves on their rice farms. The Backcountry, like your question pertains to, is a region of the colonies. This is where the Fall Line made upriver traffic impossible, so many different settlers like the original traders and farmers to the eventual Scots-Irish. They spread out in a mass cultural area along the colonies' western borders, developing the bluegrass culture we see today.
