The correct answer (sample response) is:

Safer and more versatile railroads made it easier to travel and settle the West. Refrigerator cars helped the meatpacking industry to grow. Longer rail lines made it easier to send crops to markets. New railroads brought minerals and raw materials to iron and steel mills.

These are the effects of the growth of agriculture in the Midwest.

Railroads helped the US grow by making settlement in the West possible after the Civil War by connecting farmers (miners, ranchers, loggers, and others) to markets. there people and companies could both ship their produce to markets as well as ship in the machinery and supplies they needed. It was the only way to move large amounts of things quickly.

Freedom of speech may be limited during times of war.<br> true or false
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

True.

What one says can make an enemy sympathizer happy to hear. A mother could talk about the socks she's knitting for you grandson, a father could talk about the truck's engine being hard to start (with no other details), but it was forbidden to talk about things that give away troop movements or anything that might be useful to the enemy. They would love to know that there were ships leaving the Baltimore harbor. The submarines would be there waiting for them.

In some cases it would be considered to be treason to divulge certain information, so your freedom of speech is severely limited.
