What changes transformed life in the southern colonies from 1680 to 1750? What similarities or differences existed between the tobacco coast, the rice coast, and the backcountry?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Between 1680 and 1750, the white tidewater settlements in the South made the transition from a frontier society marked by a high immigration rate, a surplus of males, and an unstable social organization to a settled society composed mostly of native-born families. Although the economy was perhaps more diversified in the Upper South, slaves overwhelmingly replaced indentured servants on both the tobacco and rice coasts, and planter elites emerged to dominate political and social life. Thousands of immigrants flooded into the backcountry South, an isolated, primitive region.
