Iron and steel--by the late 19th century the US became the world leader in iron ore and steel exports.
Access to natural resources and a lot of labor, the US was able to access iron ore which was a hot commodity and necessary for creating steel.

Steel industries dominated states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana.
