Answer:

It was a Transportation Hub.

Explanation:

Seen by the map, almost every railroad crosses into Fort Worth in Texas. It was also a major hub for cattle drives, which is why the railroads went there also.

Answer:

edge sample answer

Explanation:

Students should note that three rail lines run through Fort Worth from a variety of directions and that this aided in the city’s prosperity at the time. Students should connect the cattle industry to the city and recognize the connection between transportation and economic growth. Sample response: With three different railroad lines merging through Fort Worth, the city became a major hub for shipping. With consumer goods traveling north, south, east, and west through Fort Worth, there were many opportunities for work. People were needed to handle and manage all the freight supplies and run the railroads. In turn, businesses offering services such as banks and hotels flourished. The cattle industry also flourished here with the development of the refrigerated car. Railroads replaced slow and dangerous cattle drives, and multiple train lines redirected the transport of cattle from Kansas and Missouri to Fort Worth. The cattle industry in Fort Worth provided more jobs, drawing more settlers who spent more money and aided in the growth of the city.

I REALLY, REALLY NEED HELP ON THIS QUESTION!!!!!!!! 100 POINTS!!!!!!!!! WILL GIVE THE BRAINLIEST TO CORRECT ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bingel [31]
<u>Broad Context:</u> The "Big Picture" is that the US is trying to annex the Republic of Texas as part of their states, and that Texas already <em>shared many common traits </em>(why? part) with the US, and should join as a state of their choosing, (which means slave or free) (How? part).
<u>Other Context:<em> </em></u><em> </em>The adding of Texas into the US (eventually as a slave state) offsetted the balance between the slaves and free states, and so California (gained after the Mexican-American War) was turned into a free state. Texas was the cause of the Texas Revolution & later on the (already named) Mexican-American War. The adding of Texas, and later the Gadsen Purchase, help create today's US southern border that is shared with Mexico.

2. Why do you think the election of Abe<br> Lincoln in 1860 ultimately led to the Civil<br> War?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

A former Whig, Lincoln ran on a political platform opposed to the expansion of slavery in the territories. His election served as the immediate impetus for the outbreak of the Civil War. After being sworn in as president, Lincoln refused to accept any resolution that would result in Southern secession from the Union.

Explanation:

The dominant party, the Democratic Party, had split into two sectional factions, with each promoting its own candidate. ... The Constitutional Union Party was also new; 1860 was the first and only time the party ran a candidate for president. The results of the 1860 election pushed the nation into war.
