The Railroads

Railroads completely transformed the United States socially, politically, and economically during the Gilded Age. Literally the engine of the new industrialized economy, they facilitated the speedy transportation of raw materials and finished goods from coast to coast. In addition to raw materials, these “iron horses” carried people west to settle the heartland and the frontier. As the railroads grew in power, they exerted increasing influence on local and state governments, eventually prompting Congress and reform-minded presidents to pass laws to regulate the new industry.

Why do we not know if any dynasties preceded the Shang
julia-pushkina [17]

This should help you, it is a verified answer I have found:

The problem is that we don't know for sure, but we suspect that the Shang dynasty reigned in China starting in 1600 BC, and that before that was the Xia Dynasty.


The existence of the Xia Dynasty is not documented directly, because the first durable documents in China, in the oracle bone script date to max. 1400 BC. Some scholars suspect that the Xia dynasty was created as a myth to provide an opposition to Shang, as their traits were often opposite. On the other hand, we know some potential members of the Xia, which would serve as an argument in favour of their existence.
