Explain the negative impact of government subsidies for railroads (AP U.S. History)

History
1 answer:
madam [21]3 years ago
5 0

The government gave subsidies for railroads companies with money from the people, these companies had land grants and received millions of acres of public land meanwhile some people did not have a place to live. The companies sold the land, made money from it and built their railroads. This also increased corruption in the government - historians say that members of the state legislature would deliberately introduce legislation threatening the interests of railroads in his state if the railroad's companies would not pay some sort of blackmail -.

Railroad companies would also use the power to destroy existing competitors in the field and prevented this way the emergence of new ones, for this they used the political connection.

Railroad companies would also create railroad projects with the only means to obtain government cash without any true commercial evaluations. They would pocket money and vanish without building anything.

Chuck persisted in his efforts, and after a few weeks—as though in particular honor of Duke—he was named Assistant National Sales Manager. To honor Duke's memory, he was obligated to continue. No, Chuck carried on with his work and daily activities while Duke was by his side. He had come to understand the dog's profound love, commitment, and patience in helping him regain his footing, and he could not allow all of that work to be in vain.
