THE INDUSTRIES OF THE SOUTH 273 were bet...ter built and equipped, and were better run. Those of the South represented few systems ; there were no trunk lines ; those that did exist had largely the character of local roads supplying the local traffic from and to the important coast cities like Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, New Orleans, and, of course, Richmond and Petersburg. Of the total railroad mileage in the United States in 1861, namely, 31,256, the States of the Confederacy contained 9283, or less than 30%. This figure was soon reduced by Federal inroads to something over 6000, or roughly one-fifth of the country's total railroad mileage.^ The railroads were put to their utmost to keep the centres from which they radiated as well as the armies gathered there provisioned.
