Two Southern 73 Types and Their Origins in Tidewater Regions
Atlantic Monthly notes two leading southern plantation types, the Virginian and the South Carolinian of the tidewater. Historical and geographic reasons anchored Virginia as first, South Carolina second, with English settlers shaping society and slavery delivering aristocratic tones in eastern provinces. Further inland, North Carolina and Georgia saw fewer wealthy planters, fostering a more democratic early society. A distinct frontier movement near the Alleghanies produced a separate, less integrated culture that remains Democratic and Ulster-influenced today.
