Slaves+in+Nc

Slaves were found in every North Carolina county. Even mountain counties, where poor soil and remote location hindered any kind of economic growth. The greatest concertration of slaves was along te belt of counties where the Tidewater met the Coastal counties. Back of the tidal line, only a few counties had a large numbers of slaves. Ina similar way the counties along the South Carolina line, which were close to markets like Cheraw and Camden, combined the same two factors found on the tidal line.
