The correct answers are C) the railroad cut travel time between the east and the west coast of the united states by many weeks and D) the railroad led to the creation of uniform time zones in order to make scheduling trains easier.

Two results of the construction of the transcontinental railroad were "the railroad cut travel time between the east and the west coast of the united states by many weeks and the railroad led to the creation of uniform time zones in order to make scheduling trains easier."

The Pacific Railroad Act of 1862 designated the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific companies to build the railroad that connected the East of the country with the Pacific West. They worked seven years to connect Sacramento, California with Omaha, Nebraska, and the feat was finally reached on May10, 1869. The meeting point was Promotory, Utah.

Give one example of discrimination in the armed services during WWII?​
Amanda [17]
Before World War II (1939–1945) began, many African-Americans lived in the South. They eked out a living as tenant farmers or sharecroppers. As the nation prepared for war, better paying factory and manufacturing jobs became available in the North and on the coasts. Those opportunities encouraged many African-American men and women to relocate. Black Americans also moved to southern cities, such as Birmingham and Mobile, which grew into important military manufacturing centers. Those shifts from one part of the country to other parts led to other changes. People from different backgrounds came in contact with and worked with one another. Those experiences made black Americans determined to resist racial discrimination.

The contradiction angered African-Americans. They demanded that the nation live up to its highest ideals. The Pittsburgh Courier, a black weekly newspaper, launched a "Double V" campaign in 1942. It called for "victory over our enemies from without" — the Germans and the Japanese — and "victory over our enemies from within" — American racism. Black Americans took those words seriously. They strongly supported the war effort and they also engaged in protests against racial injustice at home.
A. Philip Randolph led the way. He was the president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, a black labor organization. For decades, Randolph had challenged racial inequality. In September 1940, Randolph was part of a delegation that met with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and demanded that the president end segregation in the armed forces. Roosevelt did not act.
