Question 10

To determine the special aspect of Georgia’s railroads, we analyze the options:

• "Had very limited railroad track mileage" is incorrect as Georgia's railroads were significant.
• "Did not need railroads because of the great road conditions" is incorrect as road conditions in the South weren't great, and railroads were essential.
• "Georgia had the most miles of track in the deep south" is correct. Georgia’s rail network was extensive, especially in the Deep South, with Atlanta becoming a rail hub.

To determine how Atlanta came to be:

• "It started as Terminus (end of the line) a major train depot" is correct. Atlanta began as Terminus, a railroad terminus, which led to its growth as a transportation hub.
• "Atlanta (Marthasville) did not exist until 1906" is incorrect (Atlanta existed earlier).
• "The mayor liked the people there and made it the 3rd capital" is incorrect (Atlanta became a capital due to its growth, not a mayor's preference).

Answer:

Georgia had the most miles of track in the deep south
