The First Transcontinental Railroad -built between 1863 and 1869- streched from the East Coast to the West Coast of the United States. This new means of transport implied that people no longer needed to travel for months to reach the other coast, because they could <u>travel faster, safer and cheaper</u> by this train. Also, mail, supplies and trade goods could now be <u>shipped across the country.</u>

Summary for “common sense” thomas paine
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Thomas Paine is responsible for some of the most influential pamphlets about the colonial situation in the 1700’s. He found himself in the right position and time to make his opinions known through his writing. He was a journalist in Philadelphia when the American relationship with England was thinning and change was on the horizon. Paine became famous at this time for writing Common Sense, as well as his sixteen Crisis papers. Through his particular style of reasoning and vehemence, Paine’s Common Sense became crucial in turning American opinion against Britain and was instrumental in the colonies' decision to engage in a battle for complete independence.
