b. growth led some cities to reshape the geography of their surroundings.
c. growth led some cities to reshape the geography of their surroundings.

The answer is: D. All of the above

During the industrial revolution, Washington obtained a large portion of their wealth from the development of railroad companeis in their area. (there were around 3000 rail road lines in Washington).

This lead to rapid/exploisive development in the areas around the railroads. For this to happen They are forced to reshape the geography of their surrounding to accomodate the railroads. The money acquired by that industry is eventually invested back to other businesses that cause the growth of several cities surronding it.

the assassination of president lincoln was just one part of a larger plot to decapitate the federal government of the u.s. after the civil war. the first reaction to lincoln’s death was disbelief. then it quickly changed to grief. abraham lincoln’s death created an outpouring of grief from citizens in both the north and the south.

explanation:

lincoln was the first u.s. president to be assassinated. president abraham lincoln, america’s civil war leader, was assassinated just five days after confederate general robert e. lee surrendered his army at appomattox court house, ending the four-year war between the states. on the evening of april 14, 1865, lincoln was attending a performance of our american cousin at ford’s theatre in washington, d.c. john wilkes booth – a 26-year old actor, confederate sympathizer, and white supremacist – slipped into the presidential box and shot lincoln in the head. john wilkes booth and his conspirators had initially planned to kidnap lincoln to save the confederate states. but as the confederacy faltered, booth’s thoughts turned to murder. booth may have decided to act on his hatred after lincoln endorsed giving the right to vote to african-american men who had served in the union army.
