“Chinese workers made up most of the workforce between roughly 700 miles of train tracks between Sacramento, California, and Promontory, Utah.

FBA built over 8,800miles of railroad in the south alone. I know we were in the north and east as well.
“Prior to the Civil War, nearly every railroad in the American South was built using slave labor. During the Civil War (1861-1865), U.S. Military Railroads (USMRR) employed thousands of African Americans in the strategically important effort of moving men and materials, enabling the North to achieve victory.”
680 miles of track compared to 8,800 miles in the south alone.
Stop letting people get aways with mistruths.
