History

Slavery was prominent in the South. Southern states wanted to count enslaved African Americans as part of their populations. This would give these states more votes in the House of Representatives. At the time, there were more than 550,000 enslaved African Americans. Counting them would add many representatives. The North, however, had fewer representatives. The enslaved people couldn't vote or participate in government. The North didn't want them to be counted.

The 3/5 compromise meant that every five enslaved persons would equal three free persons. This was effective because the North and South had equally gained what they had wanted- enslaved persons to be counted or not to be counted. (This rule was applied  for assessing taxes on the states as well)

<h3>Hope this helped :)</h3>

In order to make their schedules more standard, what did the railroads do?
Doss [256]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

After the completion of the railways, there was a big problem facing this sector, there was a disparity in time across the country; time was locally determined by some local solar time frame which were different from one locality to another. To tackle this issue,there need to be some sort of standard time. if not, there is no way to predict when moving passengers and freight,train will arrive; so some sort of coordinate to follow so that things work out right in determine and predicting schedules is needed.

In order to make their schedules more standard, the railroads divided the United States into time zones( the time zone was divided into four standard time zone)

The division of the United States into Standard time zones was first done by the railroads to end the confusion of dealing with thousands of local times.
