Answer:

It helped because one, farmers could only produce what they needed and enough to sell to the *nearby* people. With railroads, transportation was super duper cheap and maximum fast. And two, it also changed communications, although the telegraph did that more, and it made the country a country that could be crossed in a matter of days, not months, so much smaller in a way. And three,  the railroads even helped shape the physical growth of cities and towns, as steam railroads and then electric street railways facilitated growth along their lines and made suburban living feasible.

Was the 3/5 compromise effective? please explain and be specific. Thank you.
Alja [10]

Slavery was prominent in the South. Southern states wanted to count enslaved African Americans as part of their populations. This would give these states more votes in the House of Representatives. At the time, there were more than 550,000 enslaved African Americans. Counting them would add many representatives. The North, however, had fewer representatives. The enslaved people couldn't vote or participate in government. The North didn't want them to be counted.

The 3/5 compromise meant that every five enslaved persons would equal three free persons. This was effective because the North and South had equally gained what they had wanted- enslaved persons to be counted or not to be counted. (This rule was applied  for assessing taxes on the states as well)

<h3>Hope this helped :)</h3>
