Tiedwater vs Piedmont was a class issue in colonial Virginia that was a result of earlier vs later Immigration from England. The earlier immigrants were able to obtain the more rich-soiled, cooler climated land nearest to the ocean (Tidewater) which allowed them to produce more crops and generate a lot of revenue! The later immigrants got stuck with the "left-overs" which was the land nearest to the mountains and foothills (Piedmont, in Spanish, Pie="foot" & "Montaña"=mountain). The soil in that area consists of heavy clay making it harder to produce crops and generate revenue, therefore having a poorer class of people.

Which colonies were the tidewater colonies?
Tidewater Colonies were those affected by the tidal surge coming in and out of bays and lowlands. This created a very good agricultural area known for growing rice and indigo. The colonies considered Tidewater colonies were Georgia and the Carolinas. A common misconception is that Virginia, Maryland, and these colonies were all Tidewater colonies. Virginia and Maryland were Chesapeake colonies, and their society was largely based off tobacco, whereas in the Tidewater indigo, rice, and sugar were major exports. Tobacco in reality did not grow as well in these colonies as it did in the Chesapeake.
