Imagine you are a farmer in 1836. You raise corn and cattle in eastern Kentucky. A businessperson in South Carolina believes you and your neighbors produce the best corn and beef around. He wishes to be a regular customer but needs you to transport your goods to market fresh. Meeting with your neighbors, the group shows interest in building a railroad line from your area to Charleston, South Carolina.

Your fellow farmers point out that you will need extra help, though. The route passes through five states, which will each have to approve your request. You will need more money to fund this
