Answer:

In the construction of the California section of the Transcontinental Railroad, the main workforce was provided by Chinese immigrants. At first the Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) company hired fifty Cantonese workers in February 1865. This first hiring was done as a test and after this more and more workers from China were hired. It is known that working conditions were harsh and despite the fact that white American workers were paid the same as the Chinese, white people were given accommodation and food. According to available statistics, the work group of this section of the railway reached 12,000 Chinese workers in 1868, representing 80% of the total workforce.

List the pros and cons of having electricity , and the light bulb during the 19th century /////helpppppp meeee
Alika [10]

Answer:

While you may have some incandescent bulbs lying around, once they're gone, they will be gone forever. And you probably won't mourn their inefficiency; since about 90 percent of the energy produced in the bulbs is actually heat instead of light, they are huge energy wasters. While they generally last about 1,500 hours, this is still only a fraction of the lifespan of CFLs. These are lit by an electric current sent through a tube that contains argon and a small amount of mercury gases. These gases generate invisible ultraviolet light, which commingles with a fluorescent coating on the inside of the tube to produce light.

How might life in the Americas have been different if the Ice Ages had not occurred?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

hi how are you

The Missouri River would have flowed north across Canada. There would be no Hudson’s Bay. The Ohio River would not exist. Instead the “New” River of West Virginia would have flowed north to the St. Lawrence. There would be no Great Lakes.

The British colonies would have remained hemmed in along the Atlantic. There would be no easy access to the Mississippi and the interior might well have remained solidly French. If you did somehow get to the Mississippi, there would be no Missouri River to take you to the Rocky Mountains. There would be no Detroit, Chicago or Milwaukee.

you meant something like that?

What action did the Radical Republicans take during Reconstruction?
lbvjy [14]

The Radical Republicans were a faction of American politicians within the Republican Party of the United States from around 1854 (before the American Civil War) until the end of Reconstruction in 1877. They called themselves "Radicals" and were opposed during the War by the Moderate Republicans (led by President Abraham Lincoln), by the conservative Republicans, and the largely pro-slavery and later anti-Reconstruction Democratic Party, as well as by conservatives in the South and liberals in the North during Reconstruction.[1] Radicals strongly opposed slavery during the war and after the war distrusted ex-Confederates, demanding harsh policies for punishing the former rebels, and emphasizing equality, civil rights, and voting rights for the "freedmen" (recently freed slaves).[2]

During the war, Radical Republicans often opposed Lincoln in terms of selection of generals (especially his choice of DemocratGeorge B. McClellan for top command of the major eastern Army of the Potomac) and his efforts to bring seceded Southern states back into the Union as quickly and easily as possible. The Radicals passed their own reconstruction plan through the Congress in 1864, but Lincoln vetoed it and was putting his own presidential policies in effect by virtue as military commander-in-chief when he was assassinated in April 1865.[3] Radicals pushed for the uncompensated abolition of slavery, while Lincoln wanted to pay slave owners who were loyal to the Union. After the war, the Radicals demanded civil rights for freedmen, such as measures ensuring suffrage. They initiated the various Reconstruction Acts, and limited political and voting rights for ex-Confederate civil officials, military officers and soldiers. They bitterly fought President Andrew Johnson; they weakened his powers and attempted to remove him from office through impeachment, which failed by one vote in 1868.
