The United States’ great new idea to expand westward by building the transcontinental railroad has worked in their favor. Starting in 1869 people could jump on a train to go coast to coast. This connection of the railroad also opened up another track unto the country’s financial fund by opening up more opportunities.
Allowing people to travel west faster has allowed people to spend less time traveling and more time working. All of this works to the government’s favor in which they are able to collect more taxes and it allows them to let more people into the country. Then, if more people come into the country than more jobs can be filled causing the total economy to soar through the roof.
Now since this railroad has given a boost to the economy the United States can now do more great things like this. In turn it will allow the hopes of the Manifest Destiny to be a little closer.
