Prior to the railroad, all of the following made travel difficult in Texas EXCEPT:Rivers were too shallow for ships to travel year-round, making it necessary to travel by stagecoach, which was very slow.
b
Roads were poorly constructed and extremely muddy during wet weather, which made it difficult for stagecoaches to pass through.
c
It took weeks to cross the state by stagecoach, and travel was often difficult and dangerous.
d
Severe traffic congestion on the few roads that were available made it difficult to get from one city to the other.
