Stephen Richmond · Answer 1

The correct answer is d.) pushed for railroads to acquire more lands.

Explanation:

This company brought together a large number of farmers in order to increase their profits with large tracts of land that they cultivated, taking advantage of the situation of the civil war which hurt them very strongly, which was reflected in the rate that the railroads charged for transporting the merchandise as it was a monopoly that handled the rates at will.
