Question

question 4 of 10
the transportation revolution was not as important in the south as it was in
the north because:

a. people were able to make everything they needed on their farms.

b. canals already connected towns and farms.

c. farmers spent most of their time on or near their land.

d. people lived very close to one another.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The South's economy was agrarian, with plantations/farms producing most needs, reducing transportation's importance.
• Option B: Canals were more common in the North; the South had less canal development.
• Option C: While farmers were on land, the key was self - sufficiency on farms (not just time spent) driving less need for transportation.
• Option D: The South had a more spread - out population, not close living.

So the correct answer is based on the South's agrarian self - sufficiency.

Answer:

C. Farmers spent most of their time on or near their land.
