The Government helped to build the Transcontinental Railroad by passing legislation to finance it. The Pacific Railway Act authorized the construction of the railroad across the country.

The government gave land grants to the railroad companies so they could build the tracks and also sell them to finance the construction. Public lands were divided into one-mile-square sections. Between 1850 and 1870 7% of the land in the US was given to 80 railroads companies.

How did southern democrats reverse gains made during reconstruction in each of these areas?
Molodets [167]
Southern Democrats found loopholes in several different laws that allowed them to limit the rights gained by former slaves during the era of Reconstruction.

A perfect example of this would be the requirements/obligations put in place to limit former slaves from voting. This included the development of literacy/citizen tests, poll taxes, and the grandfather clause. The tests given were often near impossible to pass, the poll taxes were ridiculously expensive, and the grandfather clause stopped individuals from voting based on whether or not their grandfather could vote. All of these laws lasted several years before their repeal.
