I live in a small town named Titusville, which is located on the east coast of Florida. I live in the eastern part of the United States. Titusville is located about 45 miles south of Daytona Beach and about 123 miles away from Jacksonville. The Indian River separates the city of Titusville from the city of Merritt Island, and also the Kennedy Space Center. There isn’t a big population in Titusville because of the entire job cuts, but the people that are here in Titusville are hard working, determined, and straight to the point kinds of people.

In Nashville, Tennessee there are so many things to do. You can do things in Nashville like go to the Grand Ole Opry, visit the Nashville zoo (which is pretty awesome), or even go to the Opry Mills Mall located close to the Grand Ole Opry. Not only go shopping or go on tours but you can go sightseeing in Nashville. When I was little and we went up to Nashville all the time to visit friends, we would have to drive through the mountains and around this giant pond. I would recommend going in the winter time, even though it gets very cold. In winter time it is most beautiful place I have ever been to. When you

    The expedition made very many friendships with the natives and only a few enemies on the trip. Unfortunately the expedition could not befriend the most important of the tribes because they did not have much to offer them. Lewis had spent weeks before the trip studying plants and many of the adventures kept journals on what they saw. The expedition did not find the water way they were looking for but did find out many other useful things about the western United States. The Lewis and Clark expedition played a very important role in the expanding of the United States.…

    The world’s first transcontinental railway came into being on the 10th of May 1869, after 6 years of intense manual labouring, much of which had occurred during the tumultuous years of the American Civil War. As it entailed a huge 1907 mile route – beginning at San Francisco Bay, and ending in Iowa on the Missouri River – the line could be described as monumentally important as it travelled through six of the 37 existing states, and physically connected millions of acres of land. Whilst the transcontinental railway, however, was instrumental in expanding the West, there were many other factors that also aided this action, which included various piece of government legislation – such as the Gadsden Purchase and the Annexation of Texas – the role of farming, the invention of the telegraph, and former methods of transportation like the steamboats.…

    The Transcontinental Continental Railroad aided the settling of the west and closed the last of the remaining frontier, bringing newfound economic growth, such as mining farming and cattle ranching to our burgeoning country. On May 10, 1869, near Promontory Summit, Utah, a boisterous crowd gathered to witness the completion of one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th Century: the first Transcontinental Railroad. The breathtaking moment as the Golden Spike was driven in marked the culmination of six years of grueling work by ingenious entrepreneurs whose unscrupulous financing got the line laid, brilliant engineers who charted the railroad's course and hurdled the geological obstacles in its way, armies of workers who labored relentlessly on the enterprise and the lives of countless Native Americans which were destroyed in its wake. The First Transcontinental Railroad served as a vital link for trade, commerce and travel that joined the eastern and western halves of late 19th century America.…

    Transcontinental Rail Road

    Before the transcontinental railroad was completed, travel overland by carriage cost about one thousand dollars and took five or six months. It also involved crossing Rocky Mountains and dry desert. Work on the first transcontinental railroad began after President Abraham Lincoln approved the Pacific Railway Act of 1862. This was a landmark law that approved the federal government to financially back the construction of a transcontinental railroad. Due to the American Civil War however the work was delayed for several years. Finally around 1866 the building of the railroad had started. It was a race between the Union Pacific and Central Pacific. The transcontinental railroad was finished on May 10th 1869, at Promontory Point, Utah. This was a turning point in American History because it greatly affected the opening of the West. This linked the East and West coasts by rail, and allowed for the West to be rapidly settled by Americans seeking opportunity and a new life in a new place. It connected the coasts from “sea to shinning sea,” and had a significant impact on travel and the transportation of goods and people. In 1852,…
