We Have a Railroad!
A railroad was built going from Central Pacific (west) to Union Pacific (east) to help make our lives easier!
- It helps us transport goods
- Makes easier trade
- Makes transporting cattle easier
Industrial Revolution Makes America Better!
- More buildings were built! We have more apartments and homes for homeless people to live in and other building such as churches to make America more modernized!
- More jobs! More places need people to work in order to make the products. Since this has opened up more job opportunities there will be more money people can make!
- Also we have new inventions to make life easier such as: James Watts steam engine, Eli Whitney's cotton gin, Robert Fulton's steamboat, and Samuel F. B. Morse's telegraph.
