Which circumstance was most directly responsible for the rapid growth of the railroad industry?

History

Daniel [21]3 years ago
6 0

The major condition that was responsible for the rapid growth of railroad industry was that the government started granting massive land easements to the railroads for free.

This was the most important part of the equation. Without the land grants all the other technological points were mere points of interest. Railroad owners sold stock to investors to finance the construction of railroads.

What change in policy was president nixon promising to make in this speech?
KengaRu [80]
His promise was to reduce the number of troops in Vietnam. This was popular because the public support for the war effort was becoming weaker and weaker and even those who used to be proud of those in Vietnam started losing respect for the government that sent them there. This won him a lot of votes, especially among republicans whose children were in the war.
