How the Government policy lead to conflict
The U.S. created a conflict with their
policy of moving the Indians to build a railroad. This created a conflict
because felt like they were being invaded and defied the treaty that was made
before. They could have avoided this by sticking to the treaty and took a
different route that wasn’t on the Native Americans land. I think that today’s
government should make reparations for the treaties that were broken. They
should give them money or land to make up for stealing the land from that era.
They should do this because they went against their word and owe it to the Native
Americans
Expected Expansion Doesn’t Happen
After the transcontinental railroad was built expected
expansion didn’t happen immediately. I think this happened because of the harsh
weather conditions and dangers that the train passed through. The people may
have felt unsafe about riding on this form of transportation. They also already
had a form of transportation on boats that they were comfortable and familiar
with. These are some reasons why the railroad being constructed didn’t create a
instant expansion that America
thought it would

Difficulties of Creating the Transcontinental railroad
The Union Pacific and The Central Pacific
encountered many problems while trying to create the transcontinental railroad.
One thing that was a problem was the environment. The Union Pacific had to deal
with the harsh heat of over 100 degrees while the Central Pacific had to deal
with the narrow mountainside of the Sierra’s this created many hazards and many
were injured bad and killed. I think that the Union Pacific faced more problems
because they had to face scorching heat. This made working harder and faster
more difficult because of fatigue. While they also had to transport the wood
from very far away. This is why the Union Pacific faced more
problems.

Transcontinental Railroad Importance
The transcontinental railroad
was one of the most important structures created in U.S history. The Transcontinental
connected the East to the West. The railroad created a faster and more
comfortable way to travel. There were 2
companies who paved the way for this amazing accomplishment. The Central
Pacific who laid their tracks across the Sierras to create a northern route to
the west and the Union Pacific who mad a southern route to the west going
through deserts. The government had great interest in these two companies’ projects
and decided to help them develop their railroads. The government provided money
for the companies to help them build. The government paid them per mile of
railroad which made the workers work harder and faster to get the railroad
done. These two companies created an amazing accomplishment and the U.S.
government played a big role in their success.
