The natural resources from your list that aided U.S. industrial growth:
- Iron ore — raw material for steel and machinery.
- Coal — fuel for steam engines, furnaces, and factories.
- Fast-moving streams — provided water power for mills and early factories.
- Lumber — building material and fuel.
- Clay deposits — used for bricks, tile, and ceramics (construction and industry).
- Lakes — part of a transportation network (Great Lakes) that moved raw materials and finished goods.
Not natural resources: political freedom (a political condition) and varied climate (not a direct industrial resource).
