The rapid expansion of the railroads in the late 1800´s was encouraged by the goverment through land grants from the federal Government. On receiving these public lands the railroad companies were able to construct the railroads on such land, leaving a surplus of land that they could sell, which financed construction itself.

What are your strengths and challenges in a group
oee [108]
Well, if you are in a group you would have a better chance of achieving something. Such as if you were working on a school project and you needed ideas you could gather ideas from you assigned partners to complete the project. But, some challenges you could face is one or more partners not doing the work and taking credit for something that they didn't do. But with this being said I personally think it is better to work in a group than to work by yourself.
