The Civil War significantly impacted the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad by accelerating its need and urgency. During the war, the U.S. government recognized the importance of a unified transportation network for military and economic purposes, which led to increased federal support and funding for the project. Additionally, the conflict diverted resources and labor away from other projects, ultimately streamlining efforts to complete the railroad after the war ended in 1865. The completion of the railroad in 1869 facilitated westward expansion and helped integrate the national economy.
