they came to Jordan and Joely and asked for money to hire Mexicans to do it since they do everything else. :)
The minorities
Immigrants who helped build the Transcontinental Railroad primarily included large numbers of Chinese laborers, especially in the western sections of the project, as well as Irish immigrants who worked on the eastern parts. These workers faced harsh conditions, long hours, and significant dangers, but their labor was crucial to the completion of the railroad in 1869. The contributions of these immigrant groups were instrumental in linking the eastern and western United States, facilitating commerce and migration.
The Chinese came to Texas to look for gold and to help build the First Transcontinental Railroad.
Irish immigrants worked on the union pacific railroad to help build west from Omaha Nebraska. The Union Pacific was in fierce competition with the central pacific railroad so the irish sometimes would sabotage the work of the central pacific.
Jobs. That paid better than jobs did in China.
The Chinese were asked to help build the Canadian Pacific Railroad. Many original tracks that dodged the mountains have been relayed to make a safer and newer route.
Chinese immigrants played a significant role in building the Canadian Pacific Railroad. They were recruited to work on the construction of the railway in the late 19th century, facing harsh working conditions and discrimination during the process.
Canada was the end of the underground railroad. The slaves would travel to Canada to avoid being sent back to their masters. Chinese and Irish immigrants came to help build the railroads. Canada has taken immigrants from all over the world.
The chinese came in the 1870s and 1880s to help build the pacific railroad from the midwest across the sierra nevada mountains. They were made labors of the american pioneers because they were cheap and had great strengths to do hard working. Despite thousands of chinese settlers died due to accidents and harsh weather conditions, they were accomplishing many parts of the union pacific railroad.
Chinese immigrants came to America mainly in the 19th century to seek economic opportunities during the California Gold Rush and help build the transcontinental railroad. They also faced hardships and discrimination in China, and saw America as a place to start anew and build a better life for themselves and their families.
