What Role Did Railroad Workers Play In Western Expansion

After the Civil war political, economic and cultural factors made a humongous contributed for Western expansion. Railroad owners, Railroad Workers, Homesteader, Immigrants, African Americans, Cowboys, Ranchers, Miners and U.S Government were all part of the Western Expansion. The two groups that you would be inform about in this essay are Railroad Worker and the Immigrants. Both of these groups had an exceeding role in Western Expansion. Both the Railroad workers and the Immigrants had to faced oodles amount challenges. For instances the Chines have the no respect and they were treated poorly even though they help build the Transcontinental Railroad. Another challenge was the amount of motivation that each group felt being involved in the Western expansion. Immigrants and Railroad worker had many other problems than not being respected. For example, weather or not they

would have had food or will they be alive before sun down
During the time period of 1882 – 1965 Chinese immigrated from money.

The Chinese were hated to the point where they were not allowed to be in any photograph. Railroad worker often worked in harsh and dangerous condition. Railroad worker worked with their lives in their hands, lots of worker die working on the Railroads. Chinese were immigrants they immigrated from China to the West so make they were treated abominably. They had no respect at all, even though the other immigrants from Ireland had some. There were 15,000 Chinese immigrants employed with the Central Pacific Railroad company. Chinese technically began building the Transcontinental Railroad. In my perspective Chines were one step ahead of being treated like African Americans. After the Chinese help build the Railroad they were placed on a bus which took them back to China. I believe that that was the worst possible thing to happening to Chinese because most Chinese moved to the west looking for better life. Most Chinese moved to the West looking for an easy way to make money. Railroad worker often worked in harsh and dangerous

condition.
The motivation that Chinese felt for becoming involved in the Wester expansion was happiness which went down really quickly. The Chinese were happy at first because they knew that they live were going to become better. However, they were treated very poorly that make their lives a living nightmare. Railroad workers had the same issue, most railroad workers were Chinese or Irish. As you learn from before immigrants were not treated fairly. The Chinese dealt with their challenges they faced in the West by working as hard as they could. Chinese were the least respected so on one care if they die, Chinese were the ones risking their lives every day. They had the worst and most dangerous job. They would have to lit the bomb if they were not able to put up before the bomb go off then they would die. The Railroad workers did not have such a hard time like the Chinese but they had challenges like they were always not treated with respected but they made much more money than the Chinese. The effect that the Railroad worker and Immigrants had on the Native Americans were that the Railroad worker cause that Native Americans to move to reservation because they need to make the Railroad more longer. This cause more people to come to the West will cause the no space for Natives even though they were there first.
In conclusion Immigrants and Railroad workers were very similar. Chinese was not treated with respected but they did what they had to do. The political, economic, and cultural factors help out a lot in the west. These groups had an effect on the Native Americans because they had to work and help build the Railroad which was the major reason why Natives had to move to reservations. These groups are different by one had more respect than the one which cause one group to make more money than the other.
