The continental railroad was built from both ends at the same time to get it finished in half the time. The genius of this also was that the two sides started competing right away to try to beat the other side to the finish point, which got the railroad finished even faster.

1 Explain why a historian might not think that this passage provides enough evidence to understand the role of railroad workers during this strike in Columbus?

A historian might argue that the passage lacks sufficient context about the broader labor movement, the specific grievances of railroad workers, and the socio-economic conditions of the time. Additionally, if the passage focuses on a singular event or perspective, it may not capture the diverse experiences and motivations of all workers involved in the strike. Without comprehensive data or accounts from various stakeholders, the passage may fail to convey the full significance of railroad workers' roles in this historical moment.
