Explanation
Answer: D - The North was aided during the Civil War by its access to locomotives and, more specifically, train tracks. By the onset of war in 1861, 22,000 miles of track had been laid in the North while only 9,500 miles of track had been laid in the South. The Union was much better equipped to transport supplies and troops by rail, which was the most efficient mode of transport at the time.
