Answer:

True

Explanation:

Hello!

The great fire of Chicago originated the night of October 8, 1871. Three days later, the fire could be contained. The fire burned about 17,500 buildings and about 300 people lost their lives.

After the fire, Joseph Medill was elected as mayor of Chicago as a candidate for the "Fireproof" party. In order to anticipate the appearance of new fires, the city quickly changed the building codes.

The city was rebuilt by applying these new standards, which contemplated the use of fireproof materials. The city government also reformed the fire department, developing one of the largest fire fighting forces in the U.S.

What arguments did the US government use to justify building railroads despite the damage to native cultures? How did such damag
andrew-mc [135]

Explanation:

I believe they used the phrase "Manifest Destiny." In other words, they believed that it was their destiny to have the land and to build upon it.

The damage outweighed the benefits to the American people because it meant they got to "have more." In other words, more money.

The government could have made an agreement with the natives and possibly allowed them to continue living on the land, perhaps, that would have caused less wars or battles in the end.
