The Transcontinental Railroad had a drastic effects on many aspects of life during the 1860s, including society, the economy, and the Native Americans’ way of life. These are just a few of the ways the Transcontinental Railroad changed the world. Native Americans were forced to relocate, society had a new outlook on life, and the economy had been boosted almost incalculably.

The population began to fall into two categories: those who worked for the settlers, and those who tried to maintain their traditional lifestyle. (Migration Heritage, 2015.) The European settlement created new industries on the land they claimed which required workers. Government-run businesses created positions for Indigenous people. These people worked and in return, received food as pay. Now, it is thought that as the workers were being paid in food, famine wouldn't be a problem but this was incorrect. This food was often inadequate compared to the traditional diets of the people. Flour, sugar, tea and sometimes bits of meat were what they received as payment for a day's work. These rations were poor and for some if they were lucky, it supplemented other food that they still found on the land, while for others this was all they had. The loss of land to the Europeans meant Indigenous people were no longer able to hunt and gather food. Nature which was also a food source such as trees and plants were removed or destroyed. Waterways were polluted by the manure from large animals. This reduced the amount of food they could receive, collect and obtain which led to famine and starvation in some of the more remote areas. Indigenous people were lucky if they lived in fertile areas near the coast as these areas had

During the 1840, the United States was able to access much more land in the west than previously before. The United States saw this as an opportunity to expand their territories and to settle and obtain all things the land has to offer. The United States justified their actions through the idea of Manifest Destiny, which they viewed to be a harmless and benevolent philosophy. Manifest Destiny was in fact not as benign as the United States has come to believe; it caused the colonization and imperialism of land that held many Natives who were eventually killed or sent into reservations. People in the southern region of the conquered land were greatly influenced by this expansion as well; it caused many families who were living in the Texas area

As given per the scenario, being a young woman out to venture on my own, one of my key concerns would be safety. What colony will provide for me in security, economically, socially, and and maybe even religiously. Another large factor that comes into question is time. While reading about the early colonizations things changed vastly from one year to the next. These changes were based on wars, climate, political powers/influences, and relationships with nearby natives. The colony most fitting to my given situation between Virginian, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, would be Pennsylvania in the late 1680s. Pennsylvania was becoming well established due to it’s powerful economic growth, cultural diversity and religion, and change in slavery.

The Washington state railroads had a monumental impact on the development of Washington. The first Transcontinental Railroad, the Northern Pacific, was built, uniting the western half of America, including Washington State, with the eastern half. Radical thinkers such as Governor Stevens proposed a direct connection from the East to the untouched resources of the West. The United Sates government supported the railway lines by providing state grants. They gave the railroad millions of acres of land in the undeveloped West. The railroad companies sold off the land and with the money made, financed their railroad construction. It was built in the late 1800's and was completed over the course of many years. The population of Washington grew quickly

It maintains that the geographic concept including the physical environment is a chief factor that influences the behavior of individuals. The author assumes that early settlers came to America in the hope of taking forward their customs and traditions while starting afresh in a foreign land. However, the physical environment brought about certain changes to their traditions and customs. The people slowly began to understand that the only way to survive would be to modify their patterns of living (Hawk, 1989).
