History

Marrrta [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

In the 1860s, Cornelius Vanderbilt started with the railroad business gaining control of some railway lines operating between Chicago and New York.

The main success of Vanderbilt in the railroad industry was the creation of a coherent system expanding to several states, lowering costs, improving efficiency and cutting times to travel.

He acquired almost half of all the railroads in America due to the franchise of the state to build up a kingdom in the US, taking the monopoly of the business.

Explain why you think the close ties between church and state in Massachusetts helped or hurt their government?
Sladkaya [172]
<span>The close ties between the church and the state in Massachusetts did not help the government, but rather hurt the government. Although the Church and the government had close ties with each other but still it was not right for the church to have a say in the government. Church would always want the members of their religion in the government and that would have a negative impact on the government and people as a whole. General people’s ideas would not find importance if the government was controlled by the church.  </span>

The answer is D. 12 cm, because in order to find the area of a parallelogram you need the formula A = (b)(h), which is base times height. So 20cm x 12cm equals 240cm^2 :)
