They made a lot of money because they needed supplies and food during the gold rush and the merchants knew that they were their only sorce so they had high prices that resulted in a lot of money

Well, durign the gold rush people had "rushed" all the way to California from all over the world. (Even china!) Ultimately they found nothing- thus made nothing. However, the people who did make something out of nothing were merchants. Mainly because while people moved across land at a time where resources were scarce what did they need? The essentials to start. Essentials like food, clothing, tools, a place to stay.

Hopefully this helps!

Why do you think the California gold rush increased demand for a transcontinental railroad?
olasank [31]

Answer:

With no gold rush, there is no gigantic rush to populate that region. If there aren't enough people then there aren't enough businesses and the economic network is tiny.

Write a half a page on why you think trump is going to win compared to the polls and votes in states
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Last year the polls kept showing that Hilary was beating Trump and she was going to win for sure. The same thing is happening this year. The polls they show on TV aren't always accurate. Plus all the Trump supporters will be voting him again. Also any Hilary voters that realized Trump wasn't half bad might be switching to him. Recently celeberties have been coming out as Trump supporters and as we all know celebs tend to have an impact on peoples decisions. So with that in mind that adds on more people who could be voting for Trump. CNN along with other news media have heavily against Trump so the polls they are showing on TV can be very biased. At this moment it is very possible for Trump to win. We just have to wait for the final say.

Hope that helped :)
