The first reason the Trans-Continental Railroad was important was because goods could now reach California from the Eastern part of our country. It also helped to open up unoccupied regions of our country that nobody was settled in. It was also a lot safer and faster to travel for people across country then by wagon train. The building of the railroad also gave the economy a boost in our country because people had to build theses railroads so people were now working.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Bonus Army, gathering of probably 10,000 to 25,000 World War I veterans (estimates vary widely) who, with their wives and children, converged on Washington, D.C., in 1932, demanding immediate bonus payment for wartime services to alleviate the economic hardship of the Great Depression.

Adjusted Compensation certificates, or bonuses, had been approved by Congress in 1924 but were not scheduled for full payment until 1945. In an effort to force early lump-sum payment of these urgently needed benefits, the Bonus Army, sometimes called the “Bonus Expeditionary Force,” converged on the nation’s capital in the spring of 1932; they moved into abandoned shacks below the Capitol and set up shanties and tents along the Anacostia River
