What was Winthrop’s vision for the Massachusetts Bay Colony? How does this document reflect the idea of an American Identity?

His vision of the colony as a Puritan "city upon a hill" dominated New England colonial development, influencing the governments and religions of neighboring colonies.

Explanation:

John Winthdrop had a vision that the new colony would be a  common wealth, a community in which people work together for the  good of the whole.

Side Note:

I'm sorry that I couldn't answer the second question, but I hope this helps.

the american rail road was the most influential and useful transportation system developed in the 1800's with steam locomotives and in the very late 1800's and early 1900's diesel electric locomotives being used to transport goods and people around the newly expanded united states!
