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.
