The northern soil and climate favored smaller farmsteads rather than
large plantations. Industry flourished, fueled by more abundant natural
resources than in the South, and many large cities were established .The fertile soil and warm climate of the South made it ideal for
large-scale farms and crops like tobacco and cotton. Because agriculture
was so profitable few Southerners saw a need for industrial development.
I hope this helped you.
Access to food, water, shelter, and all basic human needs can hinder or help the growth of a civilization. Civilizations with similar environments or climates tend to develop on similar paths (because they run into the same problems/conveniences that have to be solved by human brains, which are wired to react to certain situations in certain ways.)
<span>Which three conditions helped bring about African independence?
B: The Pan-African movement encouraged nationalism and independence for Africa
D: European governments had been weakened by World War II.
E: African nations wanted to avoid the Cold War.
The Pan-African movement had already begun at the turn of the century, but became an even stronger movement in the mid-20th century. </span><span>Kwame Nkrumah, who became the first Prime Minister and President of the State of newly independent Ghana in 1957, was a key leader in that movement.
The weakened states of European countries due to the war also made them less able to maintain their overseas empires after the war.

And the Non-Alignment Movement (NAM) was influential after World War II. A number of African nations were participants in that movement, which believed the Cold War superpowers were creating a world that worked against independence and sovereignty and peace for other nations. One of the leaders of the non-alignment movement, Jawaharlal Nehru, said in a speech in 1948: "When we say our policy is one of non-alignment, obviously we mean non-alignment with military blocs." The Non-Aligned Movement held its first conference in Belgrade, Yugoslavia in 1961. The members of the movement sought to remain non-aligned for the sake of their own opportunity for development and independence and peace.
The railroad route followed the Oregon, Mormon and California Trails. The new line was added and connected Omaha and Nebraska; followed the Platte River; crossed the Rocky Mountains at South Pass in Wyoming; and through northern Utah and Nevada before crossing the Sierras to Sacramento, California. Additional route connected Denver, Colorado and Salt Lake City, Utah and other cities not directly on the route. The Central Pacific laid 690 miles (1,110 km) of track, starting in Sacramento, and the Union Pacific laid 1,087 miles (1,749 km) of track, starting in Omaha. The two lines connected at Promontory Summit, Utah. (Impact) This route was chosen over the route in the southern part of the country because it was less mountainous.
Some pros of the Erie canal include:

Isolated the south because now the north could rely on the easier to trade NW
