Tensions in SC

Where did they come from? Tension between the Up Country and Low Country were made worse by the Revolution  Up Country/ Back country  North west part of state  First settled by traders and woodsman; considered “uncivilized” by Low Country  Larger white population  Low Country  First area settled in state  Plantations  More wealthy planters

Why was there tension? Economic differences  Upcountry- subsistence (enough to feed family) farmers, few owned slaves  Low Country- planter elite, social status based on # of slaves owned Economy suffered as a result of the Revolution  Slow to improve; ties cut with England really hurt (No getting British bounties anymore)  Poor crop yields  Would not recover until cotton saved it in early 1800s

Representation Major source of tension  LC had very little respect for Upcountry  Charleston= major source of legal business, greater representation  Upcountry had to travel far to do business counties and county courts created Capitol moved to Columbia  Did help ease the tensions slightly

Representation continued… LC resisted giving UC more representation  Feared they would not support slavery Cotton gin  Created more need for slaves in the Back Country and it made cotton a cash crop  As need for slaves grew in the Back Country, LC became more willing to share power Compromise of 1808  Legislature reapportionment(became more equal)  Representation based on white population and amount of taxable property (including slaves)  LC still had more control over govt, but it was getting to be more equal
