The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad greatly affected companies that made products in that it made it far easier for them to transport their goods over long distances to markets, which greatly increased profits and output.
In order to maximize profits ,many businessmen in the 19th century resorted to unethical business practices and thus earned the name robber barons.
They did not physically rob people but they stole control over natural resources, paid unfairly low wages and pushed out their competition using questionable business practices .
While their practices weren't viewed as ethical, most of the 19th century robber barons didn't commit any illegal acts, though through their actions, new laws were enacted to prevent others from following their actions.
The United States bought 828,000 square miles of land from France in 1803. The French controlled this region from 1699 until 1762 when it became Spanish property because France gave it to Spain as a present, since they were allies. But under Napoleon Bonaparte, France revived the aspirations to build an empire in North America so the territory was taken back in 1800. However, those big plans were not meant to be because Napoleon needed to concentrate on preparations for war with the British Empire and so the land was sold to the United States. The price was 15 million dollars.
The purchased territory included the whole of today’s Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, parts of Minnesota and Louisiana west of Mississippi River, including New Orleans, big parts of North and northeastern New Mexico, South Dakota, northern Texas, some parts of Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado as well as portions of Canadian provinces Alberta and Saskatchewan.
