After the construction began, over 80-90 percent of the Central Pacific workforce was Chinese, the rest were of European-American descent and mostly Irish. Central Pacific laid 690 miles of track, starting from Sacramento into the new state of Nevada.

The dred scott decision
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The Dred Scott decision was the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on March 6, 1857, that having lived in a free state and territory did not entitle an slaved person, Dred Scott, to his freedom. In essence, the decision argued that, as someone's property, Scott was not a citizen and could not sue in a federal court. The majority opinion by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney also stated that Congress had no power to exclude slavery from the territories (thus invalidating the Missouri Compromise [1820]) and that African Americans could never become U.S. citizens.
