History

SSSSS [86.1K]3 years ago
5 0

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.

"The dismantling of
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Learning from the past is the best way to prevent it in the future.

Explanation:

History tends to repeat itself.

Here's The History Teacher by Billy Collins

The History Teacher

Trying to protect his students' innocence

he told them the Ice Age was really just

the Chilly Age, a period of a million years

when everyone had to wear sweaters.

And the Stone Age became the Gravel Age,

named after the long driveways of the time.

The Spanish Inquisition was nothing more

than an outbreak of questions such as

"How far is it from here to Madrid?"

"What do you call the matador's hat?"

The War of the Roses took place in a garden,

and the Enola Gay dropped one tiny atom

on Japan.

The children would leave his classroom

for the playground to torment the weak

and the smart,

mussing up their hair and breaking their glasses,

while he gathered up his notes and walked home

past flower beds and white picket fences,

wondering if they would believe that soldiers

in the Boer War told long, rambling stories

designed to make the enemy nod off.

How did the Romans influence the development of Judaism and, in turn, how did Judaism influence the development of Christianity
eduard

Answer:

The Roman Empire, when it became Christian, forbad the Jewish people to proselytize by laws which would inflict punishment of death to the individual, his family and his converts, and/or appropriation of his material goods, or expulsion of all the aforementioned individuals. These laws were written circa 200 to 399 AD. See ‘The Jews in Roman Imperial Legislation’, Amon Linder, 1987. You can obtain a copy through the library as it is out of print. A copy on Amazon sells at 100$, about. The Roman Empire promulgated the earliest anti-Jewish laws , after the Bar Kochba Revolt against Rome, circa 135 AD. These Roman Laws, aided by growing antiSemitism in the Holy Roman Empire , (now inculcated the early New Testament as part of Christian doctrine), compelled Jews to pay special taxes, not be able to enter trades or professions, own property, and/or basically be marginalized every other way , have existed ever since. They were the beginning of the ghettos, the Pale of Existence, the inquisition, expulsions, pogroms, other doctrines of Contempt, and finally the Holocaust. They drive the Radical Muslims today. They drive Lewis Farrikan, they affect the Radical Left Wing Americans and politicians, they empower Neo Nazis. Jews fight back with their minds and by holding tight to their people and identity and Constitution, known world wide as the Old Testament. To reprise; The Romans were the first to imprison Jews in gated stockades, which became known as ghettos. This practice spread all over Europe and became the ‘norm’ in Europe for over 1300 years, approximately, until Napoleon took the gates off the ghettos in his Empire. All of these actions have deeply affected the social evolution of the Jewish people, unjustly turning them into Pariahs and outcasts. Unfortunately for all of us Rome and its treatment of the Jewish people is still driving events in the Middle East today.
