Leland Stanford was an industrialist, business tycoon, politician, and the founder of Stanford University. During the California Gold Rush Stanford moved to California and started a whole sale business which grew as the economy boomed.  Stanford helped to found a major railroad company the Central Pacific Railroad and went on to make large amounts of money, enough so for many to consider him a "Robber Baron" a name given to wealth and powerful 19th century American businessmen.

Why was slavery generally supported by southerners? 
rewona [7]

Answer: Slavery was an important part of their economy

Explanation:

Southern America at the time relied heavily on plantation farming to produce many goods that they exported to the rest of the world and also the North. Crops such as cotton and indigo were in high demand.

Farming these crops was gruesome work and required hard labor. This is why the South used enslaved people. They also wanted to keep labor costs at a minimum and enslaved people were not paid so slavery kept costs down. It was simply too important to their economy.
