Question

The backcountry

Answer 1

The correct answer is "Southern Colony".

These concepts and activities were part of the backcountry in the American colony of South Carolina.

In colonial American times, the backcountry was that part of the American territory west of the Appalachian Mountains. The English people considered this land as a native and remote land, inhabited by primitive Native American Indian tribes. The government of Great Britain issued the Proclamation of 1763 after the French and Indian War. This proclamation prohibited American colonists to settle these territories west of the Appalachians. The English crown tried to prevent further land conflicts. Of course, the American people disobey the terms of the Proclamation.

Years later, this part of the country started to be settled by colonists and founded places such as South Carolina, where people started to grow important cash crops such as hemp, indigo, and rice.
