South Carolina is divided into two main regions: _____________________________________

The Lowcountry has _________________________________ which is great for growing crops like rice and indigo.

The Upcountry, on the other hand, has _____________________________ , which is not as good for growing cash crops on a large scale.

Because of this difference in soil quality, it was harder for farmers in the Upcountry to grow ________________________________ to sell.

Due to the poorer soil quality in the Upcountry, farmers there couldn't rely on growing ______________________________to make money.

Instead, Upstate farmers practiced _________________________. This means they grew just enough food to feed themselves and their families.

Subsistence farming focused on growing a variety of crops and raising animals to meet the _____________________________________________

This way of farming was ___________________________ because the Upcountry soil couldn't support the large-scale agriculture seen in the Lowcountry.

Cause: Farmland in the Upcountry was poorer quality than the soil located in the Low Country.
