How did the growth and development of railroads affect the American economy? (Points : 2) Railroads created a shortage of the coal that was used in fueling New England mills. Railroads eliminated jobs for mule drivers, causing a recession in some areas. Railroads made the rapid movement of produce and goods into many markets possible. Railroads increased transportation expenses and strained the economy.

Yeah! I agree with your answer. Nice job. Railroads basically were THE keypoint to national business and economic growth. Eliminating the needs for long and weary trips, while also founding and fueling other soon-to-be huge business industries, such as iron, coal, copper, machinery, etc., railroads made "rapid movement of produce and goods into many markets possible."
