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.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]
It’s hard to imagine the United States without a large central government. Americans often forget that the Founders disagreed vehemently regarding the size/form/structure that our new governement should take. These disagreements first resulted in factions (Federalists vs. Anti-Federalists) and eventually led to the development of America’s first political parties.
