Which of the following most accurately analyzes reasons why Native Americans failed to benefit from the construction of the railroad? (Select all that apply.)

Train tracks were built on Native American reservations, but the Native Americans who manufactured them were not compensated for their work.

They were not permitted to be passengers on the railroad, and so did not profit from the advances in transportation and trade.

The railroad encouraged settlement of the West, which led to the removal of Native Americans from their lands.

The path for construction cut through their homelands, spurring conflict with European Americans.

Explanation:

When the routes that the railroad would use were established, there was no consideration for indigenous territory. Because of the railroad, the settlers would have to steal the homeland of some indigenous people. This generated many conflicts between Indians and settlers, but the order between settlers was simple: any Indians who oppose the railroad's progress must be killed.

In this way the settlers looted and killed several Indians in search of their territories.

In addition, the railroad encouraged Western colonization. Colonization also resulted in conflict with the Indians over the territory. Colonization led to the removal of Native Americans from their lands.

Among the many reasons why Native Americans didn't benefit from the construction of the railroad, the two last options are the ones that most accurately analize the issue:

-The railroad encouraged the settlement of the West, which led to the removal of Native Americans from their lands.

-The path for construction cut through their homelands, spurring conflict with European Americans.
