Question

Match the region or regions with the views associated with them in the years before the Civil War.

Answer 1

The North wanted land in the western territories to be more expensive so fewer workers moved there. The North wanted this because if the land was cheap, they would lose some of their workers.

The South opposed use of government money to build new railroads and bridges.

The North and West supported investment in a good transportation network to allow for the movement of goods. A transportation network that connected the nation would allow Northerners and Westerners to trade easier and would allow them to have a bigger market to sell their goods in.
