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.

Why did some Southerners support Republican Reforms?
MrRa [10]
After the end of the Civil war, the Republican party was left unchallenged in its authority over the country. It then started the process of Reconstruction of the South. This was faced by vehement opposition from the majority in the South that had supported the Confederate course. Those that supported these reforms were those that had been marginalized in the slavery system in the South. Others that supported the reforms projected to benefit from economic opportunities created by carpetbaggers looking to assert their authority in the south.

Evaluate the extent to which the Articles of Confederation created an ineffective government between 1781 and 1789.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer: The major problem was that the national government was given limited power and they couldn't enforce any laws on the individual states which made them weak.

Explanation: The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union was an agreement among the 13 original states of the United States of America that served as its first constitution with the purpose of planning the structure for a new government. At this time, the people were loyal to their individual states rather than the nation as a whole.

Firstly, the Articles gave Congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws and if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. Secondly, Congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade and without a federal court system or executive leader, there was no way to enforce these laws either. Finally, amending the Articles of Confederation would require a unanimous decision, which proved extremely difficult.

All these contributed to an ineffective national government as each state was sovereign.
