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.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The correct answers are

A) Boycotting British goods

E) Holding Spinning bees

Explanation:

The Daughters of Liberty were the female equivalent of The Sons of Liberty. Both were formal associations that were build to protest the British Stamp law and the Townshend Act on the American colonies.

The overall goal was to boycott British goods and as most women were responsible for buying groceries and other goods for their houses, they were symbols of defiance.

The Association also held regular 'spinning bees' where women would spin cloth to provide for local people. This was done in order to reduce dependence on imported textile products from Great Britain.
