Answer:

The railroads would have to go over mountains and through deserts. Indigenous peoples were angry that land had been taken from them. The company owners knew that some American Indians might attack the railroad builders.

How did the United States government convince companies to build the railroads? They gave away land. This is called a land grant system.

For each mile of track that a company built, the government gave the company 20 to 50 miles of nearby land. Then the company could sell the land and use the money to keep building.

How might this front page help sell the newspaper? Why would such a story and title be a disservice to the people of New York?
Liula [17]

This newspaper claims that there is a $50,000 reward for something. This is a very convincing appeal, and people would likely buy the newspaper in order to discover how they can earn the reward. However, this is simply a trick to attract readers, as the reward is metaphorical. It is a device used to comment on how the Maine (a ship) was thought to have been destroyed by the Spanish.

During the war, where did African Americans receive the best treatment?
MArishka [77]
<span>in foreign countries</span><span>

Since there was a lack in food, jobs, and other necessary things needed to survive during the depression period, Americans had to get as much as they needed. However, they also despised the fact that African Americans, who they did not consider as Americans, would also have to fight for those basic needs. Discriminative Americans then saw them not as Americans and rationalized that African Americans should not partake in the basic necessities. This kind of rationale caused a lot of discrimination during the depression.</span>
