Answer:

American Indians were displaced from their tribal lands.

Step-by-step explanation:

Land in the lives of the Native Indians was considered to be more valuable than money. With the arrival of the railroad, it brought change in the landscape, decreased the wild games for the Indians and also caused in the loss of bison. By the coming of the transcontinental railroad, it led to the rise in the white settlement and unrest among the Natives and white Americans.
