The thing that I connect most to from then to now is the railroad. Although it is not the most common way to travel I go over or see trains almost everyday. They still carry cargo or resources to wherever they need to go around the country. I have also been on many trains and they are very nice t=so it has improved overtime.

The most interesting thing that I learned was about the railroad. In my opinion I thought it was the best because they traveled across the whole country to build it. They tore threw mountains and rough terrain to connect it. In addition, they started on to separate parts of the country.

The new word that I have never heard of is philanthropy. Philanthropy basically means that you promote or give money to good causes. Some wealthy people will give their money to charity or to a good cause because they feel like it's right of them to do so. There are many philanthropists today as well for example Bill Gates donates tons of his money to charity.

Population increased in cities because of the industrial revolution. People moved from farms into factories and goods increased because we didn't have as much manual labor. Along with this came environmental damage because of the pollution from the factories. For example, the Cuyahoga river caught on fire from the pollution that was constantly poured into the river. We started to create more and more products and people shifted into factories instead of mainly farm labor.

People in the U.S. wanted to connect the country from the West to the East. They made a Transcontinental Railroad that had a meeting point of Promontory Point, Utah. The Native Americans were the most effected by this building because it went through their land. Chinese and Irish immigrants were the main people that helped build the railroad. When the railroad was built it only took 6 days to cross the country instead of 6 months.
