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.
