Answer:

The U.S. government contributed to the building of the transcontinental railroad by C) awarding loans and land grants to private companies to build the railroad.

Explanation:

All right, to understand this answer we have to remember how the U.S. government used the Pacific Railroad act. Ok, the smart government of the U.S. knew that railroads as privates companies were very profitable. Nevertheless, they required some stimuli. So, the U.S. government lan¡unched the Railroad act that gave land rights to the companies building the railroads as payment. So they could profit from them after the railroads were built and the lands developed. It was a very smart move from the U.S. government as it incentivized them to built the railroads get paid and develop settlements.

Ede4ka [16]
The incorrect statement is C (It lay in a strategically important location that could be defended against attack. This is incorrect because Constantine or Byzantium, as it was previously called came under attack many times. However it did certainly contain important holy tombs and sacrilegious sites, which initially attracted the Christian emperor.

I need an essay on current Latin America
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Latin America represents 1/10 of the world's population, and geographically can be located from the land extensions of Mexico, until the Patagonia at Argentina. Some of the most relevant elements of today's culture in Latin America are; Religion, Values, Attitudes, Social structure, Social stratification, Language and Gift-giving hospitality. The predominant religion throughout history in Latin America has been Catholicism. From big cities to small villages, churches, basilicas, and cathedrals are found. Catholicism left its mark, from customs and values to architecture and art. During many years in many countries the Catholic Church had power over all civil institutions, education, and law.

An important factor that might cause a cultural change in Latin America is Globalization. Industrialization is growing in Latin America rapidly and this  is a consequence of globalization. Some of the changes that are likely to occur are modernization of cities which will make rich people richer, and poor people poorer. Mega-cities are being built by multinational corporations in cities such as Santiago in Chile.
