How was gold first discovered in the transcontinental railroad?

History

I think your question means how did the discovery of gold contribute to the creation of the transcontinental railroad.  There had been some movements toward westward settlement in the 1840s, but that trend accelerated dramatically with the discovery of gold in California.  James Marshall's finding of gold at Sutter's Mill in California in 1848 led to a "gold rush" in the decade that followed, with 1849 seeing a huge influx of people to California.  (Thus we refer to the '49ers.)  The swift settlement of California added incentive to build a transcontinental railway.  The Pacific Railroad Act of 1862 established the charter for doing that.  The First Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869.

Answer:

D. Southerners cited tariffs protecting domestic industries as a major grievance against the United States government

Explanation:

The factor that most supports the idea that regional economic differences were a major cause of the civil war is "Southerners cited tariffs protecting domestic industries as a major grievance against the United States government."

The above statement shows that southerners were complaining about tariffs is favoring the northern region because it protects domestic industries. The northern region of the United States has an economy based on industries in which tariff is protecting for them, however, the Southerners don't like that situation.

One of the things that Spain did after the American Revolution to discourage American settlements west of the Appalachian Mountains was to fortify many of their pre-existing forts in the area to make them seem more intimidating. 

Explanation:

This is because they closed the ports to New Orleans which made American trade more difficult and enraged the society.
