Pacific Railroad act enabled the congress to authorize government grants and subsidies and also gave lands to build the Transcontinental Railroad.  

From the east at Nebraska, the Union Pacific Railway initiated the construction in order to unite with the Central Pacific Railroad which was to begin the construction at the same time from west Sacramento, California.  

The two lines primarily connected at central Point in Utah which ultimately provided a clear and fastest rail route from Mississippi to Pacific Ocean. The two construction companies merged into Union Pacific railroad.

Answer:

A law of the United States Congress entitled "Pacific Railroad Act

Explanation:

A law of the United States Congress entitled "Pacific Railroad Act" where it was authorized to provide assistance for the construction of a railroad and telegraph line from the Missouri River (in the center of the country) to the Pacific Ocean coast, assuring the Government of use of it for postal, military and other purposes. The law was passed by President Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War and its objective was primarily military.

This was the great impulse to launch the railways throughout the country and ensure that the future is transported cargo in a more economical and efficient way

The trade routes he created became lucrative pathways for commerce, but also for ideas, technologies, and expertise that transformed the way people lived.The Mongols also introduced the first international paper currency and postal system. They developed and spread revolutionary technologies like printing, the cannon, compass, and abacus. Furthermore, they took local foods and products like lemons, carrots, noodles, tea, rugs, playing cards, and plants and turned them into staples of life around the world. The Mongols were the architects of a new way of life at a pivotal time in history.</h2><h2>Weatherford, Jack. Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. </h2>

Gandhi answered by gathering for strikes and civil disobedience movements.
