They failed because nobody cared about the railroad. The railroad had to be a government project with leases to companies but the government was too much involved in the slavery issue that it didn't have time to deal with railroads. That's why railroads boomed after the civil war ended.

Answer:

To restrict the conflict with the Native Indian.

Explanation:

James Oglethorpe established Georgia as a colony in North America in the 1730s. He was able to establish a colony after receiving a charter given by King George II.

James Oglethorpe has insisted on limiting the amount of land by settlers for several reasons.

When the English settlers came Georgia they found Yamacraw Indians inhabiting the place. The Yamacraw Indians were the inhabitants of the region before the arrival of settlers. Oglethorpe was well aware of the greediness of pioneers in the New World and the conflicts it followed, which resulted in destruction and deaths on both sides. To avoid conflicts and war with the Native Indians was one of the reasons to limit the amount of land. During Oglethorpe presence in Georgia, colonists maintained a favourable relation which helped them in conduction trade and to establish diplomatic connections without breaking the peace.

Why do you think the penitentiary first caught on in pennsylvania and new york? how would you explain the increase in the number
Delicious77 [7]

Considering that the original 13 colonies were founded in the eastern seaboard of the country and that until the post WWII period the major population centers shifted from the East to the West of the country it is only natural and logical. Indeed, the eastern seaboard was the most industrialized and populated area of the USA for a long time and most immigrants entered the country through New York. Pennsylvania was also heavily industrialized and a major mining area.  

With more immigrants pouring in every year, the potential for more criminal acts increased and to keep up, more prisons were necessary. There is also the huge factor of labor rights activism, which was criminalized by employers and judges in order to keep workers docile and submissive. Many strikers and labor unions were incarcerated as well and more prisons were needed for that purpose.
