Answer:

The person who made sure that a transcontinental railroad would be built is Abraham Lincoln, who, during his presidential term, encouraged Congress to pass the Pacific Railroad Act in 1862.

Explanation:

The Transcontinental Railroad was built between 1863 and 1869 and was the first railroad to cross North America. The railroad was 3069 kilometers long, stretching from Sacramento in the west to Omaha in the east, and was built by two companies, the Central Pacific Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad, which built their parts from each end of the continent.

The project was initiated by the engineer Theodore Judah, who traveled to Washington, D.C. in 1861 to present his idea to the Senate and President Abraham Lincoln. The proposal was approved and on July 1, 1862, and the Pacific Railroad Act was passed, which mandated the construction of the railway for the two companies.

I have encountered this question before. This was my answer.

The United States pursued gradual engagement to the Allied nations of Europe by passing the Lend-Lease Bill.

Under this bill, the United States will provide Great Britain the necessary supplies and armaments that it needs to fight against Germany. Knowing that Great Britain's liquidity is questionable, the United States will not demand immediate payment and when the time comes that payment is demanded,they will accept other modes of payment beside cash.

<span>In this scenario, the United States did not violate the Neutrality Act of 1939. They also ensured that the war fought in Europe will not reach their shores by ensuring that Great Britain has the capacity to fight and win the war against Germany. Thus, their assistance through lend-lease bill. </span>
