Preparation for the state of Virginian SOL ("Standards of Learning") History test: Geography and Geographic Regions
mountain range that extends along the western border of the Coastal Plain from Georgia to New England
includes sub-regions
the Piedmont, Low Plateaus and Mountains
the Appalachian Mountains served as a barrier between
early American colonies (to the east of the Appalachians along the Coastal Plain)
and French and Indian lands (to the west of the Appalachians)
all rivers from the eastern slope flow towards the Atlantic Ocean
all rivers from the western slope flow towards the Mississippi River
after Britain defeated France in the 1854-63 French-Indian War, the entire Appalachian region (and all lands up to the Mississippi River) became British
however, the British King prohibited American colonists from occupying it
