How did the invention of the railroads help pour immigrants from Eastern Europe

History

The invention of the railroads helped pour immigrants from Eastern Europe.

The development of steamships reduced passage time from weeks to days, in the case of the fastest ships, while the expansion of railroads across Europe in the middle of the 1800s significantly reduced travel time to embarkation ports. The size of the ships also expanded; some of them could accommodate more than 1,000 immigrants in steerage. They had to go by the river to reach Hamburg, one of the major ports of the time, before the development of railroads. This was inconvenient and took a few days. About 30 million Europeans immigrated to the United States between 1815 and 1915. Travel across the country used to cost close to $1,000 before the Transcontinental Railroad was built. The cost significantly decreased once the railroad was finished.

In a democracy, people need to use critical thinking to understand the many different political ideas and proposals from candidates and political parties during a campaign. Citizens deserve to know the truth, and if politicians are not saying the truth, people can think by themselves, consider the option of experts, analysts, media hosts, and journalists, but in the end, it is the citizens who have the last word.

So yes, the statements that are examples of the type of critical thinking needed for citizens in a democracy are the following: Different people have different views, but even experts can be wrong which is why we need to find many different sources of information before making a political decision. And, the experts are generally correct, but we should look for multiple different sources of information before concluding.
