D. Climate conditions favored agriculture industries

E. Factory owners would not relocate to the south

Respuesta :

The southern states were less industrialised than states in the north because - I) Agriculture was very profitable for the southern states. II) Climate conditions favoured agriculture industries.

Answer: Option C and D

Explanation:

Given the geographic setting of the states in the south, both the climate and the land-forms favoured the growth of agriculture.

  • Ample supply of water,
  • an abundance of fertile arable lands, and
  • the scarce population

The above made people engage themselves in agricultural activities on a larger scale than the northern states.

Southern states less industrialized than states in the north because:

-  Agriculture was very profitable for the southern states

- Climate conditions favored agriculture industries .

  • The Southern states have always been interested in agricultural production.
  • Since the colonial period, the South engaged in agriculture, producing cash crops like cotton, rice, indigo etc.
  • Agriculture is suitable in the South because of its climatic conditions that are favourable for the crops.
  • The climate of the South is warm and wet, with suitable fertile land for farming.
  • The land in the South was abundant, with a less white population compared to the North.

Therefore we can conclude that the southern states have fewer industries and more fertile land for farming.

Thus option C and D. is correct answer.
