Part of the context is the political debate surrounding its necessity and how best to achieve it. Building a railroad will require navigating the developing American political landscape, including the power of the federal government, states, and corporations, as well as the expansionist sentiment of the era. The author proposes a multi-state corporation, backed by public funds, to build a transcontinental railroad to bring together the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
