Northern transportation industries boomed during the conflict as well-particularly railroads. The North's larger number of track

s
and better ability to construct and move parts gave it a distinct advantage over the South. Union forces moving south or west to
fight often rode to battle on trains traveling on freshly lain tracks. In fact, as Northern forces traveled further south to fight and
occupy the Confederacy, the War Department created the United States Military Railroads, designed to build rails to carry troops
and supplies as well as operating captured Southern rail lines and equipment. By war's end, it was the world's largest railroad
system.

What happened to an injured on-the-job employee in the 1800s?
emmainna [20.7K]

The correct option is "a. There was no insurance so they would have to quit the job if the injury was severe."

During the Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century, working conditions were dire and wages were misery., Working hours were from 12 to 13, even for children and jobs were repetitive and piecework. In the premises where the work was carried out there was no ventilation or hygiene, and the workers were crowded together with poorly installed machines. This circumstance caused explosions, accidents multiplied, the inhalation of toxic substances and the heat made the air unbreathable ... Thus, work became an unbearable task, with amputations of fingers and arms and many diseases were originated. It was a time of economic growth but the needs of the worker were ignored by system, and that the workers were considered vicious and responsible for this situation of bad life. And the worst is that this attitude was maintained during the nineteenth century and much of the twentieth. To eradicate this business situation, the Occupational Risk Prevention Laws were created.

How did Judaism differ from earlier religious in Southwest Asia
Oxana [17]

The main difference was Monotheism. Judaism, unlike other earlier religions from the Middle East, worshiped one god. In ancient times, when Judaism arose, the prevailing religions in the region were Assyro-Babylonian religion and the Canaanite religions, that used to worship many gods and, in some cases, were more consistent in worshiping one particular god above others.

Other concepts totally new in South East Asia that Judaism brought was the idea of being a chosen people by God and the Messianism, this is the concept of a divine message sent to the people of God through messengers or prophets.
