6 0

Answer:

Explanation:Wooden railroads, called wagonways, were built in the United States starting from the 1720s. A railroad was reportedly used in the construction of the French fortress at Louisburg, Nova Scotia, in New France (now Canada) in 1720. Between 1762 and 1764, at the close of the French and Indian War (1756–1763), a gravity railroad (mechanized tramway) (Montresor's Tramway) is built by British military engineers up the steep riverside terrain near the Niagara River waterfall's escarpment at the Niagara Portage (which the local Senecas called "Crawl on All Fours.") in Lewiston, New York.

Describe gandhi’s experiences and actions in south africa.
Nata [24]

Answer:

During his visit to South Africa Gandhi experienced racial discrimination first hand and rather than run away he stayed back  for 21 years and used his non violent policy to fight the rights of Indians in South Africa.

Explanation:

Even though he was traveling on first class ticket in train during his visit to South Africa, Gandahi was thrown out of train by the authorities at the instigation of white man. He saw how helpless his people were in the hands of the British. He returned to India and enlisted the support of some people and finally moved to South African with his family to fight the perceived ills. He was threatened, imprisoned many times. His actions paid off when the British, out of Ghandhi's constant pressure, abandoned the project of disenfranchising Indians in South Africa. He trained and encouraged many Indians on non-violet Satyagraha { peaceful restrain}. He organised many peaceful protest and before long he was seen as the Messiah of Indians Living in South Africa.

Despite all tribulation and imprisonment he came out the darling of all even to the admiration to their British Lords.
