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.
