more notes;
sleeper rail road cars were being made, better roads were being made, the workers were still not being paid well at all.
company towns, a town built around a single factory/company, the company usually owned almost everything in the town.
sometimes the trains would be broken into and stolen from.
the rail roads/ government started to give away farmers land to rail road workers/ rail road businesses. The rich got richer, and the poor got poorer.
granger- group of farmer who fought back against the rail road people/ government.
The great depression had settled in.
immigration created a lot of racism, but they were responsible for working all of the hard jobs that had to be done but no one wanted to do, they did not get paid well at all.
