The United States was rising as the Transcontinental Railroad was being built. Homesteaders eagerly claimed land west as miners and prospectors flocked to California in search of riches. America was strong and unified once more ready to expand.
Waves of Chinese flooded American shores, bringing on the wrath of American nativists. However, these immigrants were hired as laborers to work on the transcontinental railroad, providing the necessity of long hours as well as little pay.
America’s spirit as a rising power and strong industry would bring wealth in the many years to come.
