Answer:

Before the Pacific Railroad Act was signed in 1862, Asa Whitney required the federal government to build a railroad to the Pacific.

Explanation:

The Pacific Railroad Acts were a series of congressional acts supporting the construction of a transcontinental railway line across the United States, allowing the issuance of government bonds and the granting of land for the benefit of the railways. The Pacific Railroad Act of 1862 was the original act, which was later expanded and amended in 1863, 1864, 1865 and 1866.

Asa Whitney was one of the first Americans to encourage the construction of a transcontinental railroad. He spent a lot of money trying to get the project through Congress. Representative Zadock Pratt presented the project to Congress. In 1849, Whitney published the manifesto "A Project for a Railroad to the Pacific".

Who was the sociologist who defined minority groups as people who are singled out for unequal treatment and who regard themselve
lana [24]
Sociologist Louis Wirth (1945) defined a minority group as “any group of people who, because of their physical or cultural characteristics, are singled out from the others in the society in which they live for differential and unequal treatment, and who therefore regard themselves as objects of collective discrimination.” The term minority connotes discrimination, and in its sociological use, the term subordinate group can be used interchangeably with the term minority, while the term dominant group is often substituted for the group that’s in the majority. These definitions correlate to the concept that the dominant group is that which holds the most power in a given society, while subordinate groups are those who lack power compared to the dominant group.

Explain how events following the end of the Vietnam war cast a new light on the domino theory?
Citrus2011 [14]

The Domino theory was proven right after Vietnam when similar uprisings and wars happened in Cambodia Laos Thailand and Malaysia.

Explanation:

Cambodia Laos Thailand and Malaysia are neighboring nations to the state of Vietnam that saw one of the most gruesome wars of its time.

This is followed by similar militias forming in these batons too and some erupting into a full blown war by the sponsoring of the two great superpowers

of the time.

This was good evidence for the fact that it in fact is true that one event in one place can cause a similar event in another neighboring place.

This was the essential doctrine of the Domino theory.
