The Transcontinental Railroad
By Liane Hicks
The first Transcontinental Railroad in the United States was a feat of ingenuity and engineering. It opened up the way for new cities, industries, and opportunities for immigrants and settlers. However, it also led to the decimation of Native American nations and the environment as well as a racist backlash against immigrants. Engage students with Storyboard That premade activities!
