Today in class I learned that some towns were run by the railroad companies and they would give out money that they paid for in there own currency. There was too major companies. They both started in one spot and came together. A lot of people died from injuries and diseases. A lot of immigrants from China had a lot to do with it. I think that the rail roads made a HUGE different for our country. Black gold was oil. Native Americans used it as medicine.I don't think it was a good idea for railroads to make there own money. That would just cause more problems and I just don't see how they didn't see that was coming. I also think that people should have been a lot more careful about injuries and diseases.
