The correct answer is true.

It is true that most railroads made money to build new track selling land that had been given to them by the government.

We are talking about the times when the Transcontinental Railroad was built. Some railroad companies profited from their participation in the construction of this railroad because they sold their own government-granted land to farmers.

With the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862, the federal government authorized the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad that would connect the East with the West. The two companies that participated in the construction were the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific. The connected Sacramento, California with Omaha Nebraska. The joint point was Promontory, Utah, on May 10, 1869.

Explain one positive and one negative outcome of Coronado's expedition.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Francisco Coronado was born in Salamanca, Spain in 1510 and came to Mexico in 1535. He was a Spanish conqueror, or conquistador who visited New Mexico and other parts of what are now the southwestern United States and hoped to conquer the seven cities of gold. In 1540 he was sent to find these cities but discovered them to be only poor Indian pueblos in what is now New Mexico. In 1541 Coronado went to look for "Quivira," a land said to be rich in gold. He reached what is now eastern Kansas, but found only Indian villages. Fransisco's expeditions failed to produce gold. Coronado and his men returned to Mexico in 1542. Some of his men discovered the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.

which early president passed the unpopular alien and sedition Acts which restricted people speaking out against government and a
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

John Adams

Explanation:

Inspired by Hamilton, Adams issued in 1798, on the basis of a congressional decision, the reactionary Aliens Act, based on which the president was given the right to expel any unwanted foreigner from the United States. Another one, Sedition Act, gave the president the right to punish with a fine for opposing government orders or putting in print information or articles criticizing government. These laws met with the sympathy and approval of Washington.

The Republicans vigorously resisted Adams' actions, accusing him of establishing new tyranny and urging the masses to defend the first paragraph of constitutional amendments, prohibiting Congress from introducing any legislative acts aimed at restricting freedom of speech and press. The states of Connecticut and Virginia responded with threats to secede from the Union and sharply condemned restrictions on freedom of speech and press.
