Answer 1

The statement that best summarizes the system of railroads shown on the map is: "The extent of the railroads in the South was very limited compared to that of the North." During the 1850s, the North had a more developed and extensive railroad network, while the South had fewer railroads, which were often less integrated and primarily served local or regional needs.
