Answer:

Completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad

Explanation:

Officials and workers of the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific railways held a ceremony on Promontory Summit, in Utah Territory—approximately thirty-five miles away from Promontory Point, the site where the rails were joined—to drive in the Golden Spike on May 10, 1869. The spike symbolized completion of the first transcontinental railroad, an event that connected the nation from coast to coast and reduced a journey of four months or more to just one week.

As a New England farmer, write a letter to relatives in Europe describing your family’s daily life as subsistence farmers.
Genrish500 [490]
Dear family,

The past weeks have been quite rough. The corn stalks grow weakly, and the beans have hardly sprouted. We've slaughtered two pigs already, and haven't the funds to purchase more. On a better note, my son is now old enough to till the soil, so he can help on the farm. My wife and daughter have cleaned our wooden house these past days, and my daughter has made herself and brother a quilt. Do write soon.

Sincerely,
[name]

What was the goal of the Mann-Elkins Act of 1910?
Sindrei [870]

It gave further power to the Interstate Commerce Commission.

The Mann-Elkins Act continued the federal government's authority to regulate railroad rates and telecommunication and expanded the power of the government to regulate telephone, radio, and telegraph companies.

The Mann-Elkins Act was passed in 1910 during the Progressive Era. The act was passed as part of a series of laws to regulate segments of the economy. During the Gilded Age the government passed regulation over the railroads and communications giving the government the power to set prices and prevent gouging of industries needing those services to survive. In the 1910 act, the government was provided the power to regulate the companies owning telephone, telegraph, and radio services.

What was nicholas ii response to the revolution of 1905?

What was Nicholas II's response to the revolution of 1905?

Nicholas II created the Duma to represent the people in response to the revolution of 1905.

Tsar Nicholas II had two basic responses:

He created the Duma, supposedly to be a democratically elected legislative body to make laws the even the Tsar would have to obey. He soon began to ignore whatever it did and even dissolved the first one. He never let it become a true legislative body despite his promises.He issued the October Manifesto which declared that the Russian people would have more personal freedoms than before. The Tsar also ignored these promises.

The Tsar's empty promises quelled the 1905 revolution, but his gradual failure to make good on his promises led to the people having a deep distrust of the Tsar and eventually when the February Revolution broke out in 1917, no one would accept his empty promises of reform and he was forced to abdicate the throne
