Answer:

Before the Civil War, the transportation systems of the North and South were different in that the North had a vastly more developed system of railroads. The South did not need railroads, particularly not railroads that connected many parts of the region. Its economy depended on getting cotton to seaports, not on getting a variety of goods from each place to each other place

Sum it up in your own words, have an amazing day!
