History
1 answer:
solong [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The railway allowed people to flock to cities and allowed people to travel newer places as well. Business boomed due to the railway with the mass increase of people and goods. All in all, the railway was a major success in all aspects of the Industrial Revolution especially in time and distance.

The advent of a rail network expanded the available markets for goods. ... That had a two-fold effect on the economy: the sellers found new markets in which to sell their goods and individuals who lived on the frontier were able to obtain goods that had previously been unavailable or extremely difficult to get.

Furthermore, The first transcontinental line was established in 1869. Eventually, railways lowered the cost of transporting many kinds of goods across great distances. Busy transport links increased the growth of cities. The transportation system helped to build an industrial economy on a national scale.

If you were a member of Congress how would you have treated the South after the Civil War? Would you have had different plans li
SIZIF [17.4K]
I would most possibly do the same thing, or take the south back to US as brothers, but I might also add a little punishment. The punishment would be limited import for a period of years (1, or 5). I would also not allow them to vote or participate in any political meeting, congressional decisions, etc.

Hope this helps, you might have a different opinion however, but as I think, it would be better to punish them for
1. Not obeying the rules (still having slavery)
2. Electing a secondary president.
3. Helping the war happen.
4. Trying to become independent from the rest of US.

How did America’s closest allies, GB & France, view the Treaty? Be specific.
german

Answer:

Explanation:

The eagerness of the French to help the United States was motivated both by an appreciation of the American revolutionaries' democratic ideals and by bitterness at having lost most of their American empire to the British at the conclusion of the French and Indian Wars in 1763.

Negotiated by the American diplomats Benjamin Franklin, Silas Deane, and Arthur Lee, the Treaty of Alliance required that neither France nor the United States agree to a separate peace with Great Britain, and that American independence be a condition of any future peace agreement.
