What happened at Promontory Point in 1869 that changed the world forever? How was this achieved and how was this event commemorated? *This is not in the text It s where the tracks came together! Railroads were not without corruption, as shown by the Credit Mobilier scandal. The Grange was formed by farmers to combat such corruption and HIGH PRICES FOR CROP TRANSPORTATION, and many state efforts to stop the railroad monopoly occurred, but they were stopped when the Supreme Court issued its ruling in the Wabash case, in which it ruled that states could not regulate interstate commerce, such as trains. The Interstate Commerce Act, passed in 1887, banned rebates and pools and required the railroads to publish their rates openly (so as not to cheat customers), and also forbade unfair discrimination against shippers and banned charging more for a short haul than for a long one. It also set up the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to enforce this. In 1860, the U.S. was the 4th largest manufacturer in the world, but by 1894, it was #1 WHY? = Now-abundant liquid capital + Fully exploited natural resources (like coal, oil, and iron, the iron came from the Minnesota-Lake Superior region which yielded the rich iron deposits of the Mesabi Range). EVERYTHING IS NOT DUE FOR A WHILE (KEEP)!!! Over the next 2 days (542!) PT 2+ Cornell Notes 1 page (front-back) (BIG BUSINESS/TRUSTS/TECH) BIG NEWS BELOW!!! Support Link HERE WARNING: THOMAS EDISON IS ACTUALLY COMING***! Video final 15 min!

2 ***Well Something Edison made at his factory and signed is coming to class! 1) According to your test HOW was the Iron Colt becoming an Iron Horse? After the Civil War, railroad production grew enormously, from 35,000 mi. of track laid in 1865 to a whopping 192,556 mi. of track laid in Congress gave land to railroad companies totally 155,504,994 acres. For railroad routes, companies were allowed alternate mile-square sections in checkerboard fashion, but until companies determined which part of the land was the best to use for railroad building, all of the land was withheld from all other users. 2) How did Railroads make or break towns? Why was this?? Grover Cleveland stopped this in Railroads gave land their value; towns where railroads ran became sprawling cities while those skipped by railroads sank into ghost towns, so, obviously, towns wanted railroads in them. 3)Who did Congress commission to build a railway from Nebraska to Cailfornia? How was their corruption in this process? Does that surprise you (EXPLAIN)? Deadlock over where to build a transcontinental railroad was broken after the South seceded, and in 1862, Congress commissioned the Union Pacific Railroad to begin westward from Omaha, Nebraska, to gold-rich California. The company received huge sums of money and land to build its tracks, but corruption also plagued it, as the insiders of the Credit Mobilier reaped $23 million in profits NO/ WHERE THERE IS BIG MONEY USUALLY BOG CORRUPTION CAN FOLLOW! 4)What did Native American think about the Octopus running through their pure land(s)? Many Irishmen, who might lay as much as 10 miles a day, laid the tracks. When Indians attacked while trying to save their land, the Irish dropped their picks and seized their rifles, and scores of workers and Indians died during construction. THE INDIANS WERE TICKED OFF! 5)KEYS What happened at Promontory Point in 1869 that changed the world forever? How was this achieved and how was this event commemorated? Over in California, the Central Pacific Railroad was in charge of extending the railroad eastward, and it was backed by the Big Four: including Leland Stanford, the ex-governor of California who had useful political connections, and Collis P. Huntington, an adept lobbyist. The Central Pacific used Chinese workers, and received the same incentives as the Union Pacific, but it had to drill through the hard rock of the Sierra Nevada.

3 In 1869, the transcontinental rail line was completed at Promontory Point near Ogden, Utah; in all, the Union Pacific built 1,086 mi. of track, compared to 689 mi. by the Central Pacific. THE GOLDEN SPIKE! Due to railroads, the creation of four national time zones occurred on November 18, 1883 Look closely at what is being shown here! Explain what is happening which relates to this on Frank Norris: The Octopus 1906 (PAGE 581) MONOPOLY (PAGE 500) REGULATIONS (PAGE 500) Leads to farmers forming THE GRANGE/Populist Party (535) HINT: See if you can figure out WHAT Who is the being common shown and man/farmer? What WHY is it this was creature (or is) important! REALLY doing?? Who WORK is in charge SOLO of 1 st this 5 MINUTES!!! creature LOOK CLOSELY (BELOW)!

4 The Crédit Mobilier Scandals of damaged the careers of several Gilded Age politicians. Major stockholders in the Union Pacific Railroad formed a company, the Crédit Mobilier of America, and gave it contracts to build the railroad. They sold or gave shares in this construction to influential congressmen. The company got land from the government and gave out stocks to purchase the land from the government Congressional leader that voted more power to the railroad were given stocks in the railroad companies.
