Tidewater planters were wealthy, slave-owning farmers who cultivated cash crops like tobacco and rice on large plantations near coastal areas, while backcountry farmers were typically poorer, subsistence farmers who lived inland and grew crops for their own consumption. Tidewater planters had closer economic ties to England and were more influenced by British culture, while backcountry farmers tended to be more self-sufficient and resistant to outside influences. Socially, tidewater planters were part of the Southern aristocracy, while backcountry farmers were more egalitarian and independent.
The earliest planters of the Southern Colonies settled along rivers and creeks of the coastal plain. Because the land was washed by ocean tides, the region was known as the Tidewater. The Tidewater's gentle slopes and rivers offered rich farmland for plantation.*a plantation is a large estate farmed by many workers*
