The Southeast By Lucas ,Mario ,and Ananya.
Culture In the Southeast, part of the culture was slavery. 4 million African Americans were enslaved in 1860. Another example of culture is agriculture, which joins economy to culture. The last part of culture that I will talk about is the music. The blues and Jazz were part of the southern culture especially on the Mississippi. Famous leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., who was born in Alabama, fought for civil rights. Luther Jr. = Martin Luther King Jr.
Geography Part of the Appalachian Mountains is in the Southeast. Also part of the Mississippi River and its tributaries are in the southeast.
Climate In the Southeast, the climate is very warm. Since it is very warm, many cash crops can grow. Also, Disneyland is in Florida because it almost never rains. The unexpected freeze of 1962 killed 8 billion oranges.
Economy Growing crops is important to farmers in the Southeast. They grow cash crops to sell, and regular crops to eat, such as oranges, tobacco, soy beans, and rice. Coal is also important to the Southeast. In 1993, more than 934 million tons of coal were produced. Coal Farmers
