The Louisiana Purchase
Sveta_85 [38]
The Louisiana Purchase was actually a pretty shady deal. Jefferson bought it from the french without the approval of the people. His goal was that he wanted to expand the territory of the U.S. Previously the american people wouldn't go past the mountain range for fear of foreign colonies and native Americans. This purchase also ended up opening a trade route from coast to coast. While technically Lewis and Clarke went farther than they were supposed to, there was no one that could really contest them.

77julia77 [94]

Answer: it provided 6,400 acres of land for each mile of track laid.

The Pacific Railroad Act was a law which primary objective was to create a transcontinental railroad.  To accomplish this, railroads companies were given <em>government bonds</em> as well as <em>grants of land</em> to work with.

Sections 2 and 3 of the Act, established the acquisition of rights of way, to the Company that laid the tracks.

The first one, conceded <em>both the rail itself and 200 ft of public land away from it, for each side.</em> The second one, <em>added 10 square miles to the prior,</em> whenever the rails were not crossing rivers or went through cities.

This was specified in the Act with the <u>following phrase:</u> <em>"five alternate sections per mile on each side of said railroad, on the line thereof, and within the limits of ten miles on each side"</em>.

On the other hand, loans from $16000 per mile of flat prairie railroad were authorized up to $48000 when companies worked in a mountain.
