Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lowcountry planters feared that the Upcountry farmers did not support slavery. Effect: Lowcountry planters resisted giving the Upcountry more equal representation in the legislature. Cause: The invention of the cotton gin made cotton a viable cash crop in the Upcountry.
