Answer from: atlasthegoat

The correct answer is D. The Transcontinental Railroad was not built to prevent Western lands from settlement, but on the contrary, to encourage its settlement.

Explanation:

The Transcontinental Railroad was the first railroad to cross North America and was built between 1863 and 1869. The railroad was 3,069 km long, and stretched from Sacramento in the west to Omaha in the east.

The project was started by engineer Theodore Judah, who in 1861 traveled to Washington, D.C. to present his proposal for a Transcontinental railroad to the Senate and President Abraham Lincoln. The proposal was well received, and on July 1, 1862, the Pacific Railroad Act was passed which allowed the two companies to begin construction.

On May 10, 1869, the last gold nail was struck at the Promontory Summit just outside Ogden, Utah.

By the end of the 1800s, there was a change in the nature of the immigrants coming to the united states. immigration from northern europe—england, ireland, germany, and scandinavia—declined, while immigration from italy, russia, and austria-hungary grew. in fact, between 1900 and 1910, more than three-fourths of all immigrants came from these three countries. unfortunately, these countries were far removed england, the home of our founders, and the immigrants who came from them had a hard time adjusting to life in their new country.
