PIT_PIT [208]3 years ago
4 0

The cause of the delay of building the Transcontinental Railroad is because of the newly inaugurated president Ulysses S. Grant announced that he would withold the federal funds until the two railroad companies agreed to cooperate. Also, the two railroad companies, Central Pacific and Union Pacific would each build the ends of railroad and would meet in the middle. Along the way, both companies encountered difficulties. The Central Pacific were dominated by the four businessmen which all of them do not have any experience in building railroads, engineering, or construction. They borrowed to finance the project and exploited legal loopholes. Moreover, the Union Pacific suffered bloody attacks on its workers.

maw [93]

Answer:

I think this will help....i didnt wanna give the actually awnser so here

Explanation:

The Ghana Empire (c. 700 until c. 1240), properly known as Wagadou (Ghana or Ga'na being the title of its ruler), was a West African empire located in the area of present-day southeastern Mauritania and western Mali. Complex societies based on trans-Saharan trade in salt and gold had existed in the region since ancient times,[1] but the introduction of the camel to the western Sahara in the 3rd century CE, opened the way to great changes in the area that became the Ghana Empire. By the time of the Muslim conquest of North Africa in the 7th century the camel had changed the ancient, more irregular trade routes into a trade network running from Morocco to the Niger river. The Ghana Empire grew rich from this increased trans-Saharan trade in gold and salt, allowing for larger urban centres to develop. The traffic furthermore encouraged territorial expansion to gain control over the different trade routes.
