Most of the railroads that were built in America were built with the assistance of the Federal government through grants. The railroad companies would receive millions of acres of public lands of Congress so they could build the railroads there and sell the rest gaining money to finance the construction.

Some were not built with the assistance of the government, the smaller ones had to purchase the land from private owners.

vfiekz [6]

Answer: honey, if they know you didn't do it or if you flat out told them you didn't do it, unless you were lying, then that's very toxic if it happens all the time. now, i wouldn't run away, but try and talk to them. tell them how you feel, or just go stay at a friends house for awhile. that's all i can tell you for now, hope it helps! <3
