13. Read the passage and answer the question that follows. "I attended a funeral once in Pickens County in my State... They buried him in the midst of a
marble quarry: they cut through solid marble to make his grave; and yet a little tombstone they
put above him was from Vermont. They buried him in the heart of a pine forest, and yet the pine
coffin was imported from Cincinnati. They buried him within touch of an iron mine, and yet the
nails in his coffin and the iron in the shovel that dug his grave were imported from Pittsburgh."
Henry W. Grady

All of these finished products were manufactured in the North, but the raw materials are readily available in
the South
O The mileage of railroad miles for shipping and trade in the South are now catching up to the North's mileage.
O The North should become more dependent on southern manufacturing and industry.
