The statements are not described but the conditions of the railroads in the United States after the civil war was not good.

At that time, the president was Abraham Lincoln, and he compromised that the government would subsidize the cost to build a trascontinental railroad. After the war ended railroad construction in the West and South continued for decades.

There were 2 main railway companies after the Civil War: the Central Pacific Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad. Encouraged by government who provided funds, between 1865 and 1869, the Central Pacific laid 690 miles of track and the Union Pacific 1,087 miles.

Government helped the railway companies by giving them land, as they wanted American to expand west as cities were overcrowded in the east.

Answer:

They were worried he would fail to protect them

Explanation:

Thomas Miller, one of the supporters of the Proprietors, was elected secretary and authority of the obligations. He later ended up an acting senator. He mishandled his capacity by altering nearby decisions and forcing overwhelming fines on settlers. For a long time, the homesteaders delighted in harmony, and the administration ran more easily.

The individuals were discontent with the legislature. The Proprietors, who paid little regard to the expanding dissatisfaction, continued delegating agents, and the individuals considered this a path for the Proprietors to keep on constraining the individuals' benefits.
