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.

What was one reason that immigrants came to America in the late 1800s?
kramer
I'm sorry to say, but all these answers are incorrect. The real reason why was to escape poverty in other foreign countries. The immigrants moved to America for better opportunities and better jobs. When they arrived, they moved to places called tenements that were used for people to live in. But the downside was that EVERYONE was moving to America in the east where New York was and such, Causing Overpopulation. The Government had to resolve the issue By making the Homestead Act of 1862 signed by Abraham Lincoln, Which gave everyone the ability to move west for the first time. They thought it was their, "God Given Right" to explore the west due to the government giving them 162 acres FREE. But there was one problem that raised, But that's another question for next time.
