Who were the economic winners and losers of the transcontinental railroad

Explanation:

The construction of the transcontinental railroad in America in the 18th century brought about economic prosperity for the American populace because it made it far more easier and efficient to move goods and services over longer distance and this led to a boom in trade both domestic and international trades.

some of the goods moved included : coal, gold , timber, cotton , cattle and other kinds of of goods and services. but the cotton and cattle industries were the most positively affected. The Native Americans were the worst hit by the railroad construction because most of there lands and farms were destroyed during construction of the transcontinental railroad across America and also they were not allowed to work on the railroad even the Chinese immigrants and Irish immigrants .

the second world war (wwii) was one of the major trans formative events of the 20th century, with 39 million deaths in europe alone. large amounts of physical capital were destroyed as well through six years of constant ground battles and bombing. many individuals were forced to abandon or give up their property without compensation and to move on to new lands. periods of hunger become more common even in relatively prosperous western europe. families were separated for long periods of time especially from their fathers. many including young children would personally witness the horrors of war as battles and bombing took place in the very areas where they lived. horrendous crimes against humanity were committed. due to wwii, political and economic systems in many countries would be permanently altered.
