The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What Thoreau means when he writes "we do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us" is that we are becoming more dependent on technology.

It is great that technology has changed every aspect of our lives if we use it with moderation and for work or improving our life conditions, That is great. But there is also a negative side to it. It is absorbing most of the time in people's lives with simple and evasive entertainment that does not give people something substantial. And at the same time, people are losing personal touch with family and friends. They are not having quality time with their loved ones.

Why was building unity an important goal for Washington
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Being the most influencing President of the United States, George Washington is well-known for his kinship and leadership. He never wanted the United States to be torn apart in the names of political factions, geography or other reasons.

Explanation:

George Washington's belief in unity

It was in 1789 when the Revolutionary War general and Virginian George Washington became the first President of the United Nations. During his Presidency, political factions began taking place that later on, converted into the first two political parties: the Federalists and the Democratic Republicans.

Inspite of all the discrimination of thoughts and suggestions, Washington believed that the country should not be differentiated into small factions and strongly advised to build unity for the better grooming of the country and avoid long-term alliances with other countries.
