The right answer is D) to replace Eastern European immigrants lured by gold mining.

The Transcontinental Railroad in Sacramento, California started in 1864. By this time the workforce was primarily formed of unemployed gold miners and European immigrants, especially Eastern Europeans. But their behavior demonstrated unstable and unreliable. This problem forced the company to look for another source of labor. They found what they were looking for in the labor of Chinese people. Because of their temporary status and dream of a good life back in China apparently made them more willing than American laborers to endure the low pay of railroad work and the dangerous working conditions. Nearly 11,000 Chinese workers helped on the construction efforts.

Damm [24]
Native American tribes, including the Omaha, Oto, Missouri, Pawnee, Arapaho and Cheyenne, all ceded (gave up) land in Nebraska to the U.S. government. In all, there were 18 separate treaties between 1825 and 1892 in Nebraska alone. These treaties were a part of a much larger pattern of land transfers that allowed an explosion of European settlement. By 1850, the tribes had seen more people moving through along the Platte River. The Homestead Act, which gave free land to settlers, meant that large numbers of immigrants were now going to stay in the area. In this section, there are two major stories about Native Americans during the settlement period. First, there is the story of how native people met the challenges of living on this plains landscape. And second, there is the story of conflict as more and more people tried to live on the same land.
