How was gold first discovered in the transcontinental railroad?

History

Soloha48 [4]3 years ago

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.

How were the four levels of spanish colonial society in north america based on birthplace and blood?
Ne4ueva [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The four colonies include </em>

<em>1. Peninsulares </em>

<em>2. Creoles </em>

<em>3. Mestizos </em>

<em>4. Mulattos </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The peninsular was the highest caste in the Spanish colonial society. They were the only class of people who hold public office, and they were from the mainland of Spain. Creoles were the next level of organization, and they were those people directly descendant from Spanish blood but born in the colonies. Mulattoes and mestizos were relatively low classes, and these people were of mixed races between Spaniards and Africans or Native Americans. The Spanish viewed Africans to be the lowest class, even beneath the Native Americans.
