And slave labor from the American South was not used specifically for this purpose. It was by granting public domain land to the railroads that the United States government encouraged the construction of railroads between 1850 and 1871 because there was a strong interest in building a transportation system that could connect the East and West Coast with the rest of the country.
The best answer is, France considered Alsace and Lorraine to belong to France rather than Germany.
In the late 19th century France faced defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, as a result, Germany unified under the first King of Prussia, Kaiser Wilhelm I who annexed the French territories of Lorraine and Alsace.
