A) It took government payments to railroads and gave them to farmers. B) It gave farmers shares in the largest railroad companies.
C) It prevented railroads from charging farmers more than other customers. D) It forced railroads to build lines to the largest farming areas.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) It prevented railroads from charging farmers more than other customers.

Explanation:

In 1887 Congress passed the Interstate Commerce Act, making the railroads the first industry subject to Federal regulation. Congress passed the law largely in response to public demand that railroad operations be regulated.

 

Railroads discriminated in the prices they charged to passengers and shippers in different localities by providing rebates to large shippers or buyers. These practices were especially harmful to American farmers, who lacked the shipment volume necessary to obtain more favorable rates.

Q:

Why did settlers move to the great plains?

A) There were minerals in the region B) Government was offering 160 acres of land for free
C) Land prices in the East were getting too expensive D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

Land prices in the East were getting too expensive, and the West (Great Plains) offered an opportunity for more people to own land. Although the area suffered from extreme weather and poor soils, many people decided to take the risk and venture to the Great Plains. The government was also committed to supporting those who decided to make the move.

 

Settlers moved to the Great Plains for several reasons. One reason was the government was offering 160 acres of land for free if the settler agreed to live on the land for five years. This was part of the Homestead Act of 1862.

 

Some people went to the Great Plains when they heard there were minerals in the region. Gold was one mineral found in the Great Plains region. People hoped to make a lot of money by mining gold.
