1- President Monroe wanted to build the U.S. military and work toward Latin American independence. The cited quotation is framed in the Monroe Doctrine, which established that any intervention by Europeans in America would be seen as an act of aggression that would require the intervention of the United States of America.

2- The main benefit of the Transcontinental Railroad was that it created jobs, towns, and a quick path for settlers to come to California to try to make their fortune.

This railroad was considered the greatest American technological feat of the 19th century. It served as a vital link for industry, commerce and travel, connecting the East and West halves of the late nineteenth century of the United States. The transcontinental railroad ended quickly with the romantic lines of diligence, much slower and riskier, that had preceded it. The subsequent advance of the so-called "manifest destiny" and the proliferation of the "iron horse" through the lands of the indigenous natives greatly accelerated the fall of the great Indian culture of the Great Plains.
