Southern cities grew more slowly than Northern cities, where railways were major routes of commerce and settlement. true or false​

True

Explanation:

The North was more industrialized than the south. The Industrial revolution helped America pave way for its future in industries and factories. Southern white farmers rejected these ideas as they were already extremely happy with the crops they had grown with Slaves and Slavery in the south.

                                                        Side note:

There was a saying in Europe and parts of the world which said that a man will be less and less attached to their religion and wont take it greatly into account when doing something if they work in factories. That would make sense. In the south, where today it is a Republican stronghold, as there were less factories, they were more connected to religion. There were mainly White Christians in the area and as they didn't work in factories, this statement makes sense. That's why the Democratic party was a big hit not only in the south, but also in parts of the north as they believed in Christian traditions and faith, not Factories. Finally, when the switch of parties occurred in the 1960s and 1970s, the Republicans became more conservative and Religious while the Democrats became more liberal and ethnically open.

So as a final Answer, i believe that it is True.
