Question

What is TRUE about the construction of the first railroads in Georgia?

Answer 1

Answer:

The improved agriculture.

Explanation:

Railroads impacted Georgia in many ways. First of all they made Georgia a cotton king. With the Cotton Gin producing more cotton, the rail roads shipped it faster than the usual horse and wagon. Producing the cotton faster and shipping it faster, made Georgia a economically structured state.

Answer 2

Answer:

Georgia's first railroad tracks were laid in the mid-1830s on routes leading from Athens, Augusta, Macon, and Savannah. Some twenty-five years later, the state not only could claim more rail miles than any other in the Deep South but also had linked its major towns and created a new rail center, Atlanta. The railroads continued to expand until the 1920s, when a long decline began that lasted into the 1990s. Today, the state's rail system is a strong, 5,000-mile network anchored by two major lines, Norfolk Southern and CSX, and a couple dozen shortlines.
