The growth of the railroads was HUUUUUGGGGEEEEEEEE!!!! This can't be expressed enough! Railroads gave an enormous boost in transportation, and demand for natural resources not only increased because of the easily shipped goods - but also because trains themselves needed coal. =)

Answer:

Before the railroad, the canal companies, stagecoach and those who drove wagons were the only way to transport goods, by coming of the railroads the supply and the demand for natural resources in the United States were high because of the rapidly growing industrialization. Industries needed raw material to run their factories and railways were able to provide materials in larger quantity. The railroad assisted the growth of the industry by connecting the eastern and western parts of the U.S.

The Compromise of 1877 was an informal agreement between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, which served to define the result of the American presidential elections of 1876, by means of which federal troops were withdrawn from the southern territories of the country, restoring the political power of the region to the Democratic Party on the condition that it accept the Republican victory in the presidential elections.
