Answer:

the east coast to the west coast.

Explanation:

On May 10, 1869, at Promontory Summit, Utah, a golden spike was hammered into the final tie. The transcontinental railroad was built in six years almost entirely by hand. Workers drove spikes into mountains, filled the holes with black powder, and blasted through the rock inch by inch.

On this day in 1869, the presidents of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads meet in Promontory, Utah, and drive a ceremonial last spike into a rail line that connects their railroads. This made transcontinental railroad travel possible for the first time in U.S. history.

Route of the first American transcontinental railroad from Sacramento, California, to Council Bluffs, Iowa. Other railroads connected at Council Bluffs to cities throughout the East and Midwest.

How did Great Britain and France place the newly formed United States in the middle of their problems in the late 1700s?
Svetlanka [38]

The correct answer is A) They pressured the United States to take sides.

Great Britain and France were both heavily involved in colonizing the North American continent during the 17th and 18th centuries. Once France and England both had a strong foothold in North America, they made the citizens pick sides when fighting. A perfect example of this was the French and Indian War (1754-1763).

When America became independent (1776) the hope was that the US could avoid this past experience of being involved in the affairs of these two countries. However, this was not the case. Great Britain and France both got the US involved in their fighting. The US ended up having problems with both France and Great Britain as seen in the XYZ Affair, Citizen Genet Affair, etc.

What are marx and engels criticisms of the existing social system
erik [133]

Marx and Engels believe and criticize that the existing social system causes the creation of paid wage laborers that have low pay and unfair long hours. These laborers work to fulfill society’s demands from more and more products which eventually will give more and more money for just a few people.

They also criticize that all relationships in family life are focused around gaining more and more money, which eventually also reduces sentimental values in the home.
