How did the industrialization of the West affect Americans during the post-civil war in different ways?
The biggest was through the transcontinental railroad.
The transcontinental railroad was a powerful symbol of American ambition and ability, and in a story that runs from the highs of the West’s great mountain ranges to the lows of the century’s biggest financial scandal, we can learn a lot about the nature of American progress and where that progress was leading the country.
