Answer:  D) to create railroad networks that spanned the entire country

Explanation: The government granted land to railroads to create railroad networks that spanned the entire country. Four out of the five transcontinental railroads that were built in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s were built, at least in part, using land granted by the United States government. These railroads were important because they made traveling easier and shipping good more affordable.

Pros of child labor--children are a cheap labor source, they work jobs specific to small details, they help to provide money for the family unit, and they provide taxes instead of any cost to the government. 

Cons of child labor--it reduces the lifespan, reduced education rate through the country. Outlawing child labor would cost families money and with public education costs the government money.

How were american soldiers outfitted in vietnam?
lara31 [8.8K]
Well not all soldiers were outfitted the same. Of course you will have your standard issue stuff such as the m16 rifle, helmet, grenade, and standard uniform but it all really depends on the soldier. There were many jobs in the war and each one of them came with a different set of equipment. However to answer your question in a more broad term the general infantry were given m16 rifles, a grenade, their uniform and rations (there is probably more that i missed but for the most part that covers the short and simple of it)
