The completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 had a major impact on the United States. It was the first large-scale railroad to span the entire continent and connected the country in a whole new way. This new form of transportation had a number of benefits and lasting effects on the nation. The most immediate effect of the railroad was to significantly reduce the travel time between East and West. What had previously taken weeks or months to do by wagon or steamship could now be done in days making it much easier for people to move between the coasts. The railroad also allowed for the rapid expansion of the country and of commerce. Freight could now be transported much more easily and quickly leading to a boom in business and new opportunities for economic growth. The railroad also helped to foster a more unified national identity. It was a symbol of progress and an example of what the country could achieve when it worked together. The railroad also had a major impact on the Native American population who were forcibly removed from their land to make way for the new railroads.The transcontinental railroad was a major step forward for the United States and its impact is still felt today. It helped to unify the country expand its economy and revolutionize the way people traveled and traded goods.
The Underground Railroad?
The Transcontinental Railroad Acts, also known as the Pacific Railroad acts, were acts passed in the early 1860s to encourage the construction of the transcontinental railroad. Construction was incentivized by giving land and bonds to the railroad companies.
The Underground Railroad
The Underground Railroad wasn't an actual railroad; therefore, it didn't have any conductors. Metaphorically, you could consider Harriet Tubman a conductor of the Underground Railroad.
