History:  Discussion Questions- Common approaches to street building

During the 19^th century, actions were initiated in the expansion of developing good transportation mechanism that would eventually link with other American nations. In many cities and settlements, rough roads acted as link that enhanced trade (Ruff, William and Merry 228). The creation of these roads led to the effective enhancement of communication efforts as many of the roads were developed. The main roads were used for military purposes, transportation, communication and administrative purposes were conducted.  In Georgia State, slaves were used to cater for different and dangerous functions. Moreover, they were used to build roads.  The production of the turnpike networks in Georgia were used to determine the approaches of linking between the western markets and the eastern markets.  The private entrepreneurs saw the success of the natural aperture that was developed in the Appalachian and used as a path that acted as a link between Albany and Syracuse (Ruff, William and Merry 208).

The first paved road networks were developed following on the motorcycle lobbyists. Bicyclist referred smooth roads with less bumpy rides. Health reformers also subjected their own demands since they did not put a lot of commitment in cleaning the dirty roads (Ruff, William and Merry 229).

This matter was still understood since the horses were used as a way of transportation and created droppings on daily basis in cities. Afterwards many farmers started initiating demands for the construction of roads that would be safe for transportation of goods to the markets.

Social Groups that benefitted most from improvements

In the 19^th century, the western migration completely transformed America with many of the American families migrating to the towns. One of the significant aspects of reaching the targeted markets during this era was through the use of waterways. With the increase of development in this era, many social groups were affected. Many of the American invasions were not welcomed n the west by the Native Americans and this led to many battles (Ruff, William and Merry 204).

Increase in slavery in the western plantation led to the transportation of many slaves in the west hence toning on slave families. Despite of the increase in human costs, many of the western Americans saw the expansion of the western as a significant opportunity that brought accumulation of wealth in the land. To the Americans insights, the western lands promised a sense of affluence and liberty. Therefore the only social group that benefitted highly was the white male from the changes of the society.

By 1930, what improvements were made that benefited other groups? Why were these made?

In 1930, improvements as well as development of different projects lead to the progression of the American lifestyle. For example, the introduction of the New Deal by the Roosevelt Franklin was imperative in ensuring that the government put into consideration concerns of women and American society.  The federal relief was also another development by the American development in providing financial assistance. It catered for all the Americans, whites and blacks in providing any financial assistants. The federal relief also provided enough financial support to the business and farmers. Different strategies were also developed for instance the introduction of the non discrimination approach that addressed business ways of recruiting the workers (Ruff, William and Merry 234). It was not until then when the African American political leaders were chosen to join the American cabinet after serving in the black cabinet
