Answer:

Travel was obviously one of the aspects of U.S. life most impacted by the completion of the transcontinental railroad. Before the railroad, it took almost six months and cost $1000 to travel between California and New York. After the transcontinental railroad was completed, it cost $150 and took one week. For the first time, U.S. Americans could freely travel from coast to coast. This radically changed both business and pleasure travel.

Easier transcontinental business travel allowed direct growth through expanding markets and cheaper distribution, as well as increased possibilities for partnerships and exchange of ideas. This movement between coasts allowed for business professionals to have a more expansive idea of their industry and allowed improved access to information and skills.

Within ten years of the transcontinental railroad’s competition, it was already shipping $50 million worth of freight from coast to coast every year. A marked production boom occurred as resources had faster transport to industrial settings, thus speeding up the process of making goods.

Mark the statement that is TRUE.
svetlana [45]
The true statement is "fascists usually gain power after a country's economic collapse."

Fascist governments tend to smother freedom of thought and expression to further their party's views, Hitler led Germany into Nazism in the 1920s and 30s, and fascism is usually a take-over by one dominant political party.
