>>509547053The agricultural potential of the USA didn't really come into its own until the invention of the railroad allowed for the development of farmland in remote areas both through the actual transportation of the materials needed to build those farming communities and the ability to transport and sell the crops. This was a good deal after slavery and most niggers did not own farm land.
The railways absolutely used cheap Chinese labor but they also employed cheap Irish labor and probably Italians as well. The idea that chinks were somehow a key element and would not have just been replaced with other bottom of the barrel manual laborers is a joke.
>immigrants built the buildingsThat's not even close to true unless he's talking about British immigrants.
