Fastt ! based on the information from the railroad and resource maps you just saw, where would you expect to find most us factories at the turn of the century? why? (you may want to go back and look again at the maps.)

New rail lines brought raw materials to growing cities in the Northeast and Midwest. Coal, oil, and iron resources were concentrated in the Northeast and Midwest. The abundance of railroads in the Northeast and Midwest made transporting goods easier.

several states had passed similar laws, but they were limited to intrastate businesses. the sherman antitrust act was based on the constitutional power of congress to regulate interstate commerce.

you answered my friends question just to get the coins you didn't even give a valid response.
