Answer:

The first time zones in the US was created by the railroad industry. The need for time zones was felt the railroads spread over thousands of miles. During the 1880's most of the towns in the US had their local time. and these local times created scheduling problems for the railways. Hence the railroad companies agreed for a new time code system. They divided the continent into four time zones. The congress officially adopted the railroad time zone in 1918.

In 1883, it was the "railroad industry" that was responsible for creating the first system of time zones in the United States, since the introduction of rail travel meant that there needed to be a set table of departure and arrival times across the US.

What were the main objectives of Radicals in 19th century​
pochemuha

Answer:

The Radical movement arose in the late 18th century to support parliamentary reform, with additional aims including lower taxes and the abolition of sinecures.[1] John Wilkes's reformist efforts in the 1760s as editor of The North Briton and MP were seen as radical at the time, but support dropped away after the Massacre of St George's Fields in 1768. Working class and middle class "Popular Radicals" agitated to demand the right to vote and assert other rights including freedom of the press and relief from economic distress, while "Philosophic Radicals" strongly supported parliamentary reform, but were generally hostile to the arguments and tactics of the Popular Radicals. However, the term “Radical” itself, as opposed to “reformer” or “Radical Reformer”, only emerged in 1819 during the upsurge of protest following the successful conclusion of the Napoleonic War.[2] Henry "Orator" Hunt was the main speaker at the Manchester meeting in 1819 that ended in the Peterloo Massacre; Hunt was elected MP for the Preston division in 1830-32.
