As railroads brought piles of lumber to the West:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

With more access to lumber, farmers in the West were able to upgrade their houses, which was a significant improvement in their living conditions. There is no evidence to suggest shortages or protests from local lumber companies or farmers in response to the arrival of lumber via railroads. It is also unlikely that Indians protested the arrival of lumber, as it was not a particularly valuable or important commodity to them.
