Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The Southern region had a low population density during this time period, as it was dominated by large plantations and rural areas. Urbanization did not increase significantly until after the Civil War, and the number of foreign-born residents in the South was much lower compared to the North. While there may have been some regional variations, there was not a significant gender imbalance in the South during this time.
