Chapter Nine - The Inland South

The Inland South is a very large region of the southeastern United States, including Virginia, West Virginia, North/South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, and portions of Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri.  This region also encompasses portions of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, the Appalachian Mountains, and the American Central Lowland.

The Inland South is known for its weather to be hot and humid.  Winters are usually mild, but the region experiences precipitation year-round, particularly in the spring and summer months.  The Inland South is also notorious for its flash floods, which plague the region more than any other natural disaster.

The Inland South was home to many members of the Native American population, both before and after their removal on "The Trail of Tears."  The region later became the economic center of the nation during the American Revolution, as it utilized slave labor to produce and export mass quantities of cotton, as well as other goods.
