I sense you are misunderstanding me, because your post seems to make no sense, and I'm not "mistaken" about anything. Cotton and tobacco were grown in the coastal plain areas of the South, not in the mountain areas. Southern mountain people know nothing of slavery.The part of Virginia with no slavery became West Virginia. As for other areas, you are sadly mistaken as to their importance.
What are YOU talking about ? What "importance" do you think I was talking about ?
While slavery was not prevalent in mountainous areas, these regions were relatively small in comparison to the remainder of the geography and thus relatively unimportant. West Virginia was the exception as it was a very large area of Virginia. You are correct, but simply exaggerating the historical impact.
