Hereโs how each phrase matches with the regions of the United States in the years immediately preceding the Civil War:
1. **North**: contained the majority of the railroad network
2. **South**: accounted for the majority of food production
3. **South**: contained less than a third of the population
4. **North**: produced almost all manufactured goods
5. **South**: economy based primarily on agriculture
This matches the economic and demographic characteristics of the North and South during that period.
