Why would anyone want to come to the North Carolina backcountry? After all, North Carolina had a bad reputation in the rest of the colonies because it coulod not given itself well.
Carving Out Homes
The earliest settlers to the Carolina backcountry found exactly what they wanted. The land near the Great Wagon Road had long stretches of prairie, meaning that there was more open grassland than there were woods.
The Home Front
Most settlers quickly worked to improve their places. The smart ones put up zigzag split rail fences around their grain fields, to keep out hogs, deer, and other unwanted varmits.
Building Communities
All the settlers of the backcountry brought with them their culture. Almost all valud religious expression, and most neighborhoods soon started to teach their values.
Moravians
Perhaps one of the first sounds a newborn baby heard in Wachovia was a song, for the Moravians were always musical, and they used song to worship and celebrate their lives together.
