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.

Answer:

I didn't make a drawing, but download a blank map of North America, and then used Microsoft Paint to color the areas that those three european continentes had explored by the time.

Explanation:

Spain: Had explored Mexico, Cuba, The Florida Peninsula, and more or less southern half of the Western United States, including modern day California, Southern Nevada, Airzona, New Mexico and Texas.

France: French fur traders where great early explorers in North America. They mostly settled in Quebec, alongside the Saint Lawrence River, and explored sorrounding region. They also explored the Midwest, following the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, from the Great Lakes, to New Orleans, a city which the French founded.

England: the english settlers and explorers mostly concentrated on the Eastern United States and modern-day Ontario.
