Why So Few Americans Live In This HUGE Area Of The East Coast

The video explores the Southeast coast of the U.S., focusing on Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. It discusses why these areas have fewer coastal populations compared to the Northeast and Florida. The region's geography, including barrier islands and lack of natural harbors, has historically limited urban development and maritime trade, leading to an agricultural economy reliant on plantations and slavery. Modern economic centers like Atlanta and Charlotte have emerged inland, driven by transportation infrastructure. The video also highlights climate challenges, such as hurricanes, affecting settlement patterns.
