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.

iVinArrow [24]

Over the years and with the constant evolution of society, it is normal for some of the rights of humanity to be reformulated and even replaced by better rights and more consistent with the well-being of society.

As seen above, the Mosaic Law "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", stipulated that an individual had to pay their crimes in the same currency. Thus, if a person killed someone, they should be punished with death. Currently, this concept is completely replaced by basic human rights that are defended by the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights", which states that everyone has the right to life and security, regardless of their crimes.
