According to the terms of the pacific railroad act two companies were given authority to continue the construction of the railroads the Central pacific railroad company would start building from Sacramento heading to the east across sierra, Nevada and the Union pacific railroad would build westward.
Explanation:
Central pacific railroad company was chartered first by the united states congress to build its transcontinental railroad from Sacramento to heading to the east. The Central Pacific would be dominated by the “Big Four” who were the major business men who had noexperience about construction of railway projects.
They borrowed heavily to finance the projects and utilized all the loopholes of the constitution in order to gain funds for completing this project.
The term Tejano, derived from the Spanish adjective tejano or (feminine) tejana (and written in Spanish with a lower-case t), denotes a Texan of Mexican descent, thus a Mexican Texan or a Texas Mexican.
