2. What my power point will include how the low country lived How the up country lived What they both lived in Then and now of the up country and the low country Various pictures of both places And maps of South Carolina

3. T h e l o w c o u n t r y The low country lived in the nice big houses like the picture below. On the coast of the low county is where all of the early settlement attempts happened, so it was a pretty important dock and coast. That area was sometimes called the tide water region, because the level of the rivers in the are rose and fell with the tides.

4. How the low country lived This is an old plantation home that the rich low country people would live in.

8. T h e u p c o u n t r y This was the region away from the coast. By the 18 th century most of the white population lived in the up country, the settlers of the up country were not represented in the assembly until after 1860.

9. Facts about the up country The up country was made up of people who were subsistence farmers. They grew just enough to survive. What they grew were beans, corns, sweet potatoes, squash, and pumpkins, however they did not grow rice. They had livestock but very little for instance cows, a couple pigs maybe, and sometimes some chickens.

10. How the up country lived Many of the up country lived in houses like the one I show you. This is the inside of a log cabin in the up country. As you can see the up country didn’t live very well, they didn’t have nice houses or nice things like the low country.

11. The up country people were less educated than people in the low country. There were barely any slaves in the up country until after the American revolution. More facts about the up country A lot of the settlers were Scotch-Irish, German, Swiss, or French. The families that lived in the up country were the Calhoun's, Kershaw's, Pickens, and Sumter's. The important settlements in the up country were Camden, Ninety-six, and Orangeburg. It grew radically after the development of the townships in 1730.
