The impact of the railroad on the geographic, economic, and political futures of the United States was enormous, not just because of the sheer physicality of the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad connecting the entire continent east to west in 1869.

This massive amount of construction was only a tiny piece of the large and varied impact of rail travel on the development of the United States, beginning some 30 years earlier.

Rail History in the United States
The first railroads in America were horse-drawn, but with the development of the steam engine, railroads became a viable enterprise. The era of railroad building began in 1830 when Peter Cooper's locomotive called the Tom Thumb was put into service and traveled 13 miles along what would become the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad line. Over 1,200 miles of railroad track were laid between 1832 and 1837. And, in the 1860s, the construction of the Transcontinental Railway brought the two coasts closer together.

The impact of railroad traffic was no less than a revolution of communication for the new territories of the rapidly expanding United States.

This sounds like Alonzo Herndon.

Alonzo Herndon (1858 - 1927) was born into slavery in Georgia, and was emancipated following the end of the American Civil War. He worked a series of difficult physical jobs with his family but set aside some savings to use in the future. In 1878, with $11 in savings and only a year of formal education, Herndon moved to Coweta County and learned to be a barber. A few months later he opened his first barbershop in Jonesboro. His barbershop earned a good reputation and in 1883, Herndon moved to Atlanta after finding a job at a barbershop there.

By 1904, Herndon owned 3 barbershops in Atlanta, all very well regarded. With his money, he began investing in real estate. He ended up purchasing more than 100 houses, as well as a block of commercial real estate; at the time of his death, his real estate's total value was $325,000.

Herndon was also a responsible local leader who involved himself a lot with the community. He was a generous philanthropist as well.

Which world religion does not have a numeric device
Debora [2.8K]
<span>Religions and numerals do not tend to mix. You might be talking about cultures that do not have concepts of numerals i.e. words that designate numbers. Actually, there are plenty of cultures that does that. For short, there are societies where numbers and counting is non-existent. Some of these cultures include the pre-contact Mocoví, Pilagá, Jarawara, Jabutí, Canela-Krahô, Botocudo (Krenák), Chiquitano, the Campa languages, Arabela, Khoisan language speakers, and Achuar. Before contact with modern civilization, these isolated cultures have no idea about counting and numbering. It seems that counting developed in cultures that engaged in commerce.</span>
