It sure isn't D. One of the reasons the South had trouble during the civil war is that she didn't have enough rail lines. Horses did much of the work the rails did.
The rails existed in 1865. There were lots of them. Trouble was they were mostly in the North.
The large population centers were largely in the east. Shear numbers would make rails feasible. Answer
The West did oppose the rails to some extent, but industry (like cattle and mining) wanted more rails. Most of the time the opposition came for economic reasons.

Answer:
In April 1775, the "shots heard around the world" were fired at Lexington and Concord. The shots were the result of colonial tension toward the acts passed by the British government. The colonial militia was victorious at Lexington and Concord. Delegates to the Second Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia three weeks after the battles at Lexington and Concord. The Congress selected John Hancock as its president. Hancock was one of the richest colonists. He used his wealth to fund the Sons of Liberty in his home state of Massachusetts. The Congress also selected George Washington as the commander of the Continental Army. In an attempt to avoid a full-scale war, the Congress sent King George the Olive Branch Petition. In it, the colonists asked the King to protect their rights and told the King that they wanted peace. King George rejected their petition and began preparing for war.
