The threat of the Native Americans.The Native Americans felt upset about being pushed out of their own land. They didn't believe in land ownership. So when people came looking for places to set their tracks, the Native Americans came and scalped them, burned them, or killed them.

The railroads increased immigration by those of European descent. This put additional pressure on Native Americans as it increased incursions onto their land and competition for the natural resources on which they relied.
The completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 had a major impact on the United States. It was the first large-scale railroad to span the entire continent and connected the country in a whole new way. This new form of transportation had a number of benefits and lasting effects on the nation. The most immediate effect of the railroad was to significantly reduce the travel time between East and West. What had previously taken weeks or months to do by wagon or steamship could now be done in days making it much easier for people to move between the coasts. The railroad also allowed for the rapid expansion of the country and of commerce. Freight could now be transported much more easily and quickly leading to a boom in business and new opportunities for economic growth. The railroad also helped to foster a more unified national identity. It was a symbol of progress and an example of what the country could achieve when it worked together. The railroad also had a major impact on the Native American population who were forcibly removed from their land to make way for the new railroads.The transcontinental railroad was a major step forward for the United States and its impact is still felt today. It helped to unify the country expand its economy and revolutionize the way people traveled and traded goods.
It made many Native Americans have to leave their reservation, they had trouble living and surviving after this.It polluted the aircreated more jobs ( like the job of building the railroads) that abused and under-paid their workers ( mostly immigrants)
i am not sure
Yes,the Native Americans or American Indians attacked the transcontinental Railroad because since they didn't want the white workers to take over their land AGAIN,they wanted to protect their land and started to attack (rip up the railroad tracks and attack the workers)
The Native Americans lost their food during the First Transcontinental Railroad because, when they were relocated they, lost their herd of buffalo. The buffalo was all they had for food, shelter, etc.
cheyene Indians blew there heads off with .50 cal machine guns and .22's.
it affected them because it affected their homes and they took their food.
it affected them because it affected their homes and they took their food.
The Native Americans were adversely affected by the transcontinental railroad. The railroad created an influx of people that killed off the buffalo and created a food shortage for the Native Americans.
The construction of the transcontinental railroad led to the destruction of the buffalo population, a vital resource for many Native American tribes on the Great Plains. It also resulted in the loss of their ancestral lands, forced relocations, and increased conflicts with settlers and the U.S. government, ultimately disrupting their traditional way of life and causing immense suffering.

White Americans justified the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad with the concept of Manifest Destiny. They believed that the United States was meant to control as much land as possible. To accomplish this, the country must first stretch "from sea to shining sea." A railroad that spanned the entire nation would help to achieve this goal. However, to get the land for a railroad, Native American rights to territory had to be taken away as quickly as possibly to make way for construction.
The creation of the transcontinental railroad was a result of the Federal governments goal of connecting the US west and east coasts in an improved way of transport than existed before 1869. The railroad was the cause of more settlers heading west to start a new business, farm, or mining. The railroad also enabled the US army to be transported to western locations to protect the new settlers there. There were constant breaks of promises that were made to Native American Tribes in the West. This resulted in conflicts and US troops were used to keep Native Americans in reservations and cause much damage to them.
Working in rough terrain in the US West was tough for transcontinental railroad workers. There was always a threat from Native Tribes whose land was being violated and from weather extremes. Also, many minority workers were hired. Many were Chinese and were teated badly by railroad managers. Wages were not high for non-whites.
