Detailed explanation-1: -Backcountry was the term used during the early settlement and colonial periods for the vast interior of North Carolina, located away from the coastline and including both the modern-day Piedmont and Mountain regions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The backcountry was full of rivers, forest and streams which made it good for farming and building. The Fall line is where the waterfalls prevent ships from moving any farther than the backcountry. The Pediment is a long plateau where it meets the blue ridge mountains that meet the Appalachian Mountains.
Detailed explanation-3: -The backcountry settlers mostly shared similar backgrounds and social levels. Things began to change as the population of the colony boomed from immigration, and a new and diverse wave of immigrants moved into the rural west, disrupting the stable social order that the farmers had maintained.
