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.

What event inspired the revival of the ku klux klan
NNADVOKAT [17]

<u>The Birth of a Nation was a film that triggered the revival of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1910s and 1920s. </u>Its original name was "the Clansman". It was released in 1915.

The film is set during the American Civil War and the Reconstruction Era, and tells the story of two families: one pro-Union and the other pro-Confederacy.

The film was a commercial success but it was also very polemic because of the manner in which black men were portrayed as unintelligent and sexually aggressive towards white women, and because it represented the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) as a heroic force. Such image presented, inspired the revival of the KKK.
