Backcountry southerners were settlers who lived in the rural, frontier regions of the Southern United States during the 18th and early 19th centuries. Often poorer and more isolated than their counterparts in the plantations, they typically engaged in subsistence farming and relied on hunting and trade. This group played a significant role in shaping the culture and politics of the region, often exhibiting a strong sense of independence and resistance to centralized authority. Their values and lifestyle significantly influenced the social fabric of the South, contributing to the distinct identity of the Appalachian and other rural communities.

How was life in the tide water different from life in the backcountry south?
The tidewater South was dominated by large plantations, which used slave labor on a massive scale in growing cash crops. The Southern backcountry was much poorer, and survived on small family farms. Most backcountry whites were too poor to own slaves, and generally grew enough to feed their families. After Abraham Lincoln was elected President, many in the tidewater South feared that Lincoln planned to end slavery, and were therefore the most vocal advocates of secession. Many backcountry southerners resented the rich planters of the tidewater, and were less likely to support secession. This divide even led a number of backcountry Virginia counties to secede from newly-secedeed Virgina, staying in the Union and forming the state of West Virginia.
