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.
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.
In the upper South, crops such as tobacco, wheat, and corn were commonly grown. In the Deep South, cash crops like cotton, rice, sugarcane, and indigo were predominantly cultivated due to the region's more favorable climate and conditions for their growth.

The south treated their slaves much more fairly than the deep southern states. (South example: North Carolina) (Deep South example: Georgia, South Carolina) Maryland treated their slave fairly, and they were considered a northern state.
In the deep south of America in the 1930's a severe drought plagued the south for several years and was known as the dust bowl. It severely hurt agriculture in the country and deepened the Great Depression.
This was bacause the south mostly relied on agriculture at this time. The south focused their economy mostly on things like cotton and other southern crops.
