To determine which conclusion is supported by the information in the chart, let's analyze the data provided in each category:
1. Population:
- North: 23,000,000
- South: 9,000,000
When comparing the populations, we see that the North had a significantly higher population than the South. Hence, the correct observation is that the North had more people than the South.
2. Factories:
- North: 110,000
- South: 18,000
In terms of industrial capacity, measured by the number of factories, the North had a substantially greater number of factories compared to the South. This indicates that the North was more industrial than the South.
3. Miles of Railroad:
- North: 22,000 miles
- South: 9,000 miles
Looking at the infrastructure, specifically the miles of railroad, the North had more miles of railroad than the South, suggesting better transportation infrastructure in the North.
Given these observations, let's evaluate the conclusions:
- The resources in the North and South were about equal.
This statement is incorrect because there were significant differences in population, number of factories, and miles of railroad between the North and South.
- The North was more industrial than the South.
This statement is correct because the North had a much higher number of factories than the South (110,000 compared to 18,000).
- The South had more people than the North.
This statement is incorrect since the South had fewer people (9,000,000) compared to the North (23,000,000).
Therefore, the conclusion that is supported by the information in the chart is:
The North was more industrial than the South.
