2. The Transcontinental Railroad
What I knew is that the telegraph was not for goods it was only for communication and it did not travel that slow.
The strong supporter of the transcontinental railroad was a man called Abraham Lincoln.
Two companies built the transcontinental railroad and they were the central pacific and the union pacific.

3. The Gold Rush
There were about a thousand of people that went to California on search of gold.
There was a man called George Jackson that went on search for gold in January 1859 in the rocky mountains.
Jackson found a few gold flakes in Denver,Colorado

4. Cowboys
Cowboys had a lot to do like cattle drive. That means that they had to go from one place to another with a flock of animals.
They were going to a place where beef was scare.so they had to get a lot of money like 40 dollars.
In texas they sold longhorns for just $4.00.But because there was not a lot of longhornes in the east they had to sell it for $40.00
