The first South Carolinians settled in the tidewater area primarily due to its fertile land and access to waterways, which provided abundant resources for agriculture and fishing. The region's climate was conducive to growing cash crops like rice and indigo, which became economically significant.

No, Dissenters did not largely settle in the tidewater area of Virginia. Instead, they primarily established communities in areas further inland, such as the Shenandoah Valley and parts of North Carolina. The tidewater region was more dominated by the Anglican Church and wealthier settlers.
