Explanation:
Beginning in the early 1870s, railroad construction in the United States increased dramatically. Prior to 1871, approximately 45,000 miles of track had been laid. Between 1871 and 1900, another 170,000 miles were added to the nation's growing railroad system. Much of the growth can be attributed to the building of the transcontinental railroads. In 1862, Congress passed the Pacific Railway Act, which authorized the construction of a transcontinental railroad. The first such railroad was completed on May 10, 1869. By 1900, four additional transcontinental railroads connected the eastern states with the Pacific Coast.
Four of the five transcontinental railroads were built with assistance from the federal government through land grants. Receiving millions of acres of public lands from Congress, the railroads were assured land on which to lay the tracks and land to sell, the proceeds of which helped companies finance the construction of their railroads. Not all railroads were built with government assistance, however. Smaller railroads had to purchase land on which to lay their tracks from private owners, some of whom objected to the railroads and refused to grant rights of way.
Laying track and living in and among the railroad construction camps was often very difficult. Railroad construction crews were not only subjected to extreme weather conditions, they had to lay tracks across and through many natural geographical features, including rivers, canyons, mountains, and desert. Like other large economic opportunity situations in the expanding nation, the railroad construction camps attracted all types of characters, almost all of whom were looking for ways to turn a quick profit, legally or illegally. Life in the camps was often very crude and rough.
By 1900, much of the nation's railroad system was in place. The railroad opened the way for the settlement of the West, provided new economic opportunities, stimulated the development of town and communities, and generally tied the country together. When the railroads were shut down during the great railroad strike of 1894, the true importance of the railroads was fully realized.

Alternate titles: Congressional Reconstruction
BY The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica | View Edit History
Radical Reconstruction, also called Congressional Reconstruction, process and period of Reconstruction during which the Radical Republicans in the U.S. Congress seized control of Reconstruction from Pres. Andrew Johnson and passed the Reconstruction Acts of 1867–68, which sent federal troops to the South to oversee the establishment of state governments that were more democratic. Congress also enacted legislation and amended the Constitution to guarantee the civil rights of freedmen and African Americans in general.

Location: United States
Context: Reconstruction Acts
In the 1866 mid-term congressional elections, voters in the North resoundingly rejected Johnson’s Presidential Reconstruction policies, and Congress, dominated by Radical Republicans, decided to restart Reconstruction. The Reconstruction Acts of 1867 split the states of the former Confederacy into five military districts and specified how new governments—based on manhood suffrage without regard to race—were to be constituted. Thus began Radical Reconstruction, which lasted until the demise of the last Republican-led Southern governments in 1877.

African American political leaders (including individuals who had been free before the Civil War, artisans, Civil War veterans, and formerly enslaved ministers) advocated for the elimination of the racial caste system and the economic uplift of the formerly enslaved individuals. Throughout the South, more than 600 African Americans served in state legislatures, and hundreds more held local offices from sheriff to justice of the peace. Moreover, 16 African Americans served in Congress during Reconstruction, including two U.S. senators, Hiram Revels and Blanche K. Bruce. Although the ascension of African Americans to positions of political power marked a dramatic break with the country’s traditions and aroused deep-seated hostility from the opponents of Reconstruction, so-called “black supremacy” never existed.

Reconstruction governments served the expanding citizenry by establishing the South’s first state-funded public school systems, seeking to strengthen the bargaining power of plantation labourers, making taxation more equitable, and outlawing racial discrimination in public transportation and accommodations. In the hope of creating a “New South” whose economic growth would benefit both blacks and whites, the governments also made available considerable funding for railroads and other enterprises. However, those economic programs spawned corruption and rising taxes, which alienated more and more white voters.

how does the win win habit with concepts of diversity and inclusivity help grow an organization and help increase my growth mind-set
Explanation:
An organization is a collection of individuals who work together to achieve a common goal or specific purpose.
To fully understand how the effect of a win-win habit, inclusivity. and diversity can affect the growth of an organization and help increase the mindset of people working in an organization, we need to carefully examine each term.
A win-win habit views life as a collaborative situation rather than a competing arena. In all human relationships, a win-win habit is a state of mind and soul that seeks mutual gain. The solutions arrived to are useful and satisfactory to both parties. Therefore, an individual that portrays a win-win habit for his organization will definitely help the organization grow thereby increasing his growth mindset.
By the term inclusivity, we mean the act or principle of ensuring and providing equal access to opportunities and resources for individuals who would be excluded due to their physical or mental impairments, class, gender. etc. In an organization where the term inclusivity is not excluded, the growth of the organization will be paramount and be at the core of every member of such an organization.
Diversity entails understanding that each person is unique and acknowledging their distinct characteristics, as well as respecting their variances. The values that diversity will help such organizations to achieve include; teamwork, tolerance, and leadership.
Therefore, we can conclude that: an organization with all these terms( habit Win-Win, along with the concepts of inclusivity and diversity) will not only grow spontaneously but add value, credibility, and integrity to the organization and help increase the mindset of the individuals in the organization.

Why did the United States declare war against Spain in 1898?
Select all correct answers.
Spanish authorities mistreated the people of Cuba.
The U.S.S. Maine blew up in Havana harbor.
José Martí led Spanish troops in an attack on Ybor City, Florida.
American newspaper publishers pushed public opinion in favor of war.
Answer:
The United States declared war against Spain in 1898 because Spanish authorities mistreated the people of Cuba and because the U.S.S. Maine blew up in Havana Harbor. Also, yellow journalism was prominent in the late 19th century, therefore, American newspaper publishers were successful in pushing public opinion in favor of war.
Explanation:
The relations between Spain and the Cuban people had deteriorated at the end of the 19th century as Cuba was one of the last places in the Americas to remain under Spanish colonial control (the other remaining colony at that time was Puerto Rico). Spain was interested in maintaining control of Cuba to keep control over trade with countries like the United States but Cuban landowners were growing restless at the oppressive nature of the colonial administration that restricted their trade with other countries and there had been years of protracted resistance during the Ten Years War (1868-1878) in Cuba. In the United States, there was a lot of popular support for the Cuban people as the Spanish had rounded up a lot of rural inhabitants and made them live in camps that had unsanitary conditions and inadequate supplies of food. The newspapers in the United States told of the atrocities but sometimes in the sensationalism ways associated with yellow journalism. Sent to protect US business interests in Cuba given the rising tensions, The U.S.S Maine blew up in Havana as well and the USA attributed this to the Spanish. The US declared war on Spain after the loss of the U.S.S. Maine.
