Prior to the American Civil War, the main reason that the South did not develop an extensive system of railroads, such as was developed in the North, was geographical. Southern planters made use of the extensive river-ways, as well as the numerous ports on the Gulf Coast, to transport their goods by boat. In this, they were of course assisted by the "free labor" of their large slave-population.
