Answer: it provided 6,400 acres of land for each mile of track laid.

The Pacific Railroad Act was a law which primary objective was to create a transcontinental railroad.  To accomplish this, railroads companies were given <em>government bonds</em> as well as <em>grants of land</em> to work with.

Sections 2 and 3 of the Act, established the acquisition of rights of way, to the Company that laid the tracks.

The first one, conceded <em>both the rail itself and 200 ft of public land away from it, for each side.</em> The second one, <em>added 10 square miles to the prior,</em> whenever the rails were not crossing rivers or went through cities.

This was specified in the Act with the <u>following phrase:</u> <em>"five alternate sections per mile on each side of said railroad, on the line thereof, and within the limits of ten miles on each side"</em>.

On the other hand, loans from $16000 per mile of flat prairie railroad were authorized up to $48000 when companies worked in a mountain.

marin [14]
Oh no.

Okay so first lets talk about what stereotypes are. Stereotypes are essentially what society has made as the “commonality” of the populations of certain races, social groups and social tendencies.
Okay, now that that is out of the way:

The media sometimes stereotypes groups of people based on something most people don’t think about; that being Political groups. For example, CNN and FOX news have really bad habits of talking about the “stereotypical” conservative or the “stereotypical” democrat. If you pay attention to certain clips from these stations, you will see stereotyping as well as less than friendly conversations involving politics.
Next up, who benefits? Well, people who want the attention frankly. People can use stereotypes to actually make a point or to even further disprove stereotypes.
Who is harmed? People of color. That is kind of the obvious answer unfortunately. People of color have stereotypes that don’t put them in the best light. Frankly, I find it biased and not true, however people sometimes believe in these stereotypes. So sometimes these stereotypes can harm the people of color.
Finally, how does it affect the political sphere? People are labeled and the political sphere becomes more radicalized. When stereotypes are pushed forward and when people believe it, ideas become radicalized. This is NOT good, radical opinions often bring hatred and EXTREME bias with them.


Hope that helps and good morning!!!
