Answer: The government gave them to railroad companies for development.

Explanation:

The United States government used part of the public domain land to aid and support the construction of railroads.

Private banks were hesitant to grant money to railroad companies because they would probably take lots of time to pay it off. That´s why Congress granted land to the railroad companies. Four out of the five transcontinental railroads were created with aid from the federal government. This contributed to a faster settlement of the West.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Smallest increase in car occurred in:

1930 - 1940

Explanation:

(The question is incomplete because the chart is not given. I have attached the full question at the bottom, for a better understanding of the question)

Lets calculate the increase from looking at the chart for different options.

<h3>1900 - 1920:</h3>

In 1900, the number of owners are 0 millions

in 1920, then number of owners are slightly less than 10, consider it to be 8 million.

Increase in ownership = 8 millions - 0 millions

Increase in ownership = 8 millions (approx)

<h3>1920 - 1930:</h3>

In 1920, the number of owners are 8 millions

in 1930, then number of owners are slightly more than 20, consider it to be 23 million.

Increase in ownership = 23 millions - 8 millions

Increase in ownership = 15 millions (approx)

<h3>1930 - 1940:</h3>

In 1930, the number of owners are 23 millions

in 1940, then number of owners are slightly less than 30, consider it to be 27 million.

Increase in ownership = 27 millions - 23 millions

Increase in ownership = 4 millions (approx)

<h3>1940 - 1950:</h3>

In 1940, the number of owners are 27 millions

in 1950, then number of owners are 40 millions

Increase in ownership = 40 millions - 27 millions

Increase in ownership = 13 millions (approx)

Why were sam adams and john hancock frustrated with government policies in the mid-1760s?
Oliga [24]
Both Sam Adams and John Hancock had anti-British sentiments. In the 1760s the British imposed regulatory measures in America so they could have greater authority over the region. John Hancock was influential and quite wealthy so he thought it was time to aid the American cause for independence from the British as he felt their influence in America was harming it.
