Railroads encouraged settlement in the west because they opened up economic opportunities in the west. Through the railroad, products from west coast could be transported back to the East and vice-versa and thereby opening up the markets of the west and also Asia to the East.

To exploit the new business opportunities, people began to move and settle in the west.  Within 10 years of its completion, the railroad shipped $50 million worth of freight coast to coast every year. It ensured a production boom and was America's first technology corridor

madam [21]

aniked [119]

World War II was the war fought to bring "essential human" freedoms. However, in America, many minority groups did not have the essential freedoms they were fighting overseas for.

For example, black men served in the US military and gained new economic opportunities in factories during World War II. These men were vital to the war effort. However, they still lacked the same freedom in the US in comparison to white citizens. Many black citizens were stopped from voting, attending the same school as white citizens, etc.

This was also true for Japanese American citizens. Thousands of Japanese-American citizens were put into internment camps by the US government after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This limited the freedom of these citizens even though they did not commit any crimes.
