Answer 1

The focus in the southern states on the production of raw materials had several consequences. Among the options provided, the most relevant consequence would be:

dependence on other regions for manufactured goods.

This is because the South's emphasis on cash crops, like cotton and tobacco, often meant that there was less development of local manufacturing industries. As a result, the South had to rely on the North or other regions for the manufactured goods it needed.
