History

Taya2010 [7]3 years ago

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.

5. How does the author support the claim that it was a"hard fight" for women to win their right to vote?​
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The author supports the claim that it was a "hard fight" to win their right to vote because they weren't considered equal workers to the men workers.

Explanation:

It was considered that women's duties were to take care of the household and to raise children, so they did not have the right to vote and to hold political office.  However, women also knew who would be the best choice for society, so they needed the right to vote because they also had good judgment about society and politic situation.

What makes William J Bryan speech so powerful?
____ [38]
Bryan was the last of the Great Political Orators in some ways. He could speak at great length on any topic, using powerful imagery, often of a religious nature, to audiences raised on such language and imagery.

Unfortunately, the telegraph already was encouraging economy of language, and the radio would make long speeches less useful than shorter ones which reached the point quickly. People in churches no longer spent hours listening to a single sermon, and those who followed the earsteps of Abraham Lincoln learned that eloquence was not a matter of length, but of substance.

The “Cross of Gold” speech which he thought would propel him to the Presidency would not work today.

The only orators today who speak interminably tend to be dictatorial in nature, in love with their own voice, and whose followers dote on every word, no matter how repetitious. Bryan was leagues above that, but someone who seeks his skill will learn why society has passed the skills of the long-sermoned preacher by.
