How did the railroads built throughout the country affect immigration in the us

History
1 answer:
Luda [366]3 years ago
3 0

The expansion of the railroads in the late 1800s was instrumental in helping the US economy boom.   It did this in two ways. 

First, the railroads created a tremendous amount of demand for goods and labor on their own.  As the railroads were being built, they needed huge numbers of people to build them.  They also, of course, needed enormous quantities of steel for rails and rolling stock and wood for things like railroad ties.  This demand, particularly for steel, helped the US economy to boom.

Second, the railroads created a huge national market.  Before the expansion of railroads, it had been very hard to get goods from place to place on land.  Moreover, the whole western United States was essentially worthless to the national economy because goods could not be easily transported from there to the rest of the US (particularly because there was no Panama Canal in those days).  The railroads tied the whole US together.  Now, crops and cattle from the West could become part of the economy as could the things produced by mines in the West.  Now, anything could be transported anywhere in the country.  This allowed companies to become much bigger and allowed the economy to boom.

In these ways, the railroad expansion allowed the US economy to expand rapidly in the late 1800s.

<h2>Answer: Marie Curie </h2>

Marie Curie's notebooks, as well as all of her belongings, including her clothes, were contaminated with ionizing radiation. In fact, those of her husband also, because this couple of scientists discovered the radioactivity of several elements, helping the advance of science, but <u>did not know about the consequences of dealing with these materials without adequate protection. </u>

It should be noted that Curie's notes are stored in the basements of the National Library of France, stored in thick lead boxes and those who wish to access these documents must follow the appropriate protocol to treat radioactive material, wear appropriate clothing and sign a responsibility  agreement before allowing them to review the documents.

- Explain the significance of Alan<br><br> race music as rock-a-roll music.<br><br> Freed renaming
lesya [120]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

First, we have to clarify something. This is not the correct statement for the question.

The correct question should be read like this: "Explain the significance of Alan Freed renaming race music as rock-and-roll music."

Now, we can comment on the following.

Alan Freed was a famous disk jockey in the 1950s, The significance of Alan Freed renaming race music as rock-and-roll music was that this change allowed him to promote this modern music in different publics, including the white youngsters that immediately fell in love to rock and roll.

What he successfully did was to take the black musicians that played rock and roll like Little Richard and Chuck Berry, to the massive white audience that had the money to buy records and buy tickets. And sell records and tickets he did, because he promoted r&r music and produced many concerts in different venues.
