Question

If a train were traveling from Tennessee to South Carolina in 1850, what other state would it pass through?

Answer 1

Answer:The state that the train would also pass through would be North Carolina (N.C).

Explanation:This would be correct because it is in the middle of Tennessee and South Carolina.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Georgia.

Explanation: If you look at an 1850 map of railroads, which you can find online, there was not a railroad that went from Tennessee into North Carolina and then South Carolina. So the only route available would have been to use the Old South Railroads that would bypass North Carolina, but would go through Georgia to reach South Carolina.
