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.

What was the enlightenment how was it instrumental in american government?
Mrrafil [7]
Simply the Age of Enlightenment inspired the American Revolution that sparked the creation of the American Government.

European politics, philosophy, science and communications were radically reoriented during the course of the “long 18th century” (1685-1815) as part of a movement referred to by its participants as the Age of Reason, or simply the Enlightenment.

Enlightenment philosophers John Locke, Charles Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau all developed theories of government in which some or even all the people would govern. These thinkers had a profound effect on the American and French revolutions and the democratic governments that they produced.

The ideas of the French Enlightenment philosophes strongly influenced the American revolutionaries. French intellectuals met in salons like this one to exchange ideas and define their ideals such as liberty, equality, and justice.
