America Transformed: In 1864, Congress authorized the Northern Pacific Railway Company to construct a northern transcontinental route extending from Minnesota to Washington state.

The route was completed in 1883. Rand McNally, a major publisher of railroad maps, printed this map of the main route and tributary routes in the mid-1880s.

The whole story in a nutshell!. Includes illustrations, text about policies, and captions describing policies for areas of the United States.. Major differences between incumbent Democrat Grover Cleveland and his Republican rival Benjamin Harrison during the 1888 Presidential campaign are emphasized on this campaign poster. During this era of rapid industrialization, Harrison promoted himself as the candidate best suited to national and international concerns while still being aware of important issues at the state level. The map imagery highlights Harrisons expansionist position while underscoring Clevelands limited appeal, particularly in states colored gray. The fact that Harrisons party and administration worked against organized labor did not prevent him from making it a central claim in his campaign poster.. Harrison's ideas! : Republican platform of 1888 Cleveland's ideas! : fruits of "free-wool message," "Mills' bill" and general Democratic policy. Harrison's ideas! : Republica
