The correct answer is C. There were not many banks to finance businesses.
In 1860 the South was still predominantly agricultural, highly dependent upon the sale of staples to a world market. By 1815, cotton was the most valuable export in the United States, by 1840 it was worth more than all other exports combined. But while the southern states produced 2/3 of the world’s supply of cotton, the South had little manufacturing capability, about 20% of the railroad tracks, but only 13% of the nation’s banks.

Once the delegates determined the Three-Fifths Compromise, they went on to determine the presidential process--as in who could be elected, how the election would work, etc.
Hey there!
Let's analyze each of these. Many of these ended up boosting the economy, but only one lead to industrialism, or a big increase is manufacturing.
The Louisiana Purchase led to a lot of exploring and land trading, but not necessarily industrialization.
The revolutionary war gave the U.S. its independence but did not start any specific types of industries.
After the Mexican war, the U.S. gained more land in the West but for the same reason as the Louisiana Purchase, it did not increase manufacturing industries.
This leaves the answer as D) The War of 1812. The War of 1812 reinstated that the U.S. did not need to trade with Britain or many other countries, which led many states to begin to manufacture their own goods.
I hope this helps!
