Question

which economy and contributing factor best complete this table? 1) mining; 2) metal ores and minerals 1) ranching; 2) railroads to transport cattle to market 1) large farms; 2) slaves used for labor 1) cottage industry; 2) mild weather that attracted immigrants

Explanation:

The table references 1800s U.S. regional economies. The missing row corresponds to the Southern U.S. economy, which was defined by large plantation-style farms that relied heavily on enslaved labor as the core contributing factor. Other options do not match the Southern 1800s economy: mining was Western, ranching was post-1860s Western, and cottage industry was Northern.

Answer:

1. Large farms; 2) Slaves used for labor
