what does superintendint mean
The Fugitive Slave Act caused the formation of the Underground Railroad.
the Western and Atlantic railroad.
The Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad.
I believe you mean what was the underground railroad used for. And the answer to that is, during slavery, it set people free because no slave owners knew about it and that is how slaves would escape from slavery/slave owners.
the new pacific railroad was a transcontinental railway what does that mean?
"Railroaded" refers to a situation where someone is unjustly pushed into a particular outcome or decision without proper consideration or due process. It implies that the person has been unfairly treated or limited in their options.
Well, the question has to be more specific. If you mean the Transcontinental Railroad, then the Civil war disrupted it. If you mean a different railroad, please be more specific next time.
Railroad is usually a noun, something that a train travels on. Informally, railroad can be used as a verb meaning to push someone into doing something before they can object.
