In the upper south, agriculture was more sparse, with people producing their own vegetables, raising their own livestock, and making their living off of hunting deer, bears, cougars, etc. In the deep south, these were where the big plantations were located that held slaves to look after the big fields of cotton and tobacco. The soil down south was better quality than in the north of eastern USA, because the deep south didn't have the Appalachians and Adirondack mountains to work with.

How did the agriculture of the upper south and the deep south differ by 1860?

By 1860, the agriculture of the Upper South, which included states like Virginia and Kentucky, was characterized by a more diversified economy with a mix of tobacco, grains, and some cotton cultivation. In contrast, the Deep South, encompassing states like Mississippi and Louisiana, was heavily reliant on cotton production, often referred to as "King Cotton," and utilized large-scale plantations with a significant enslaved labor force. This difference in agricultural focus also reflected broader economic and social structures, with the Upper South being less dependent on slavery compared to the Deep South’s plantation economy.
