In the Eastern United States, the railroads followed the people, connecting already existing population centers. In most of Texas, it was the other way around. From the time of the Republic, it was a recognized policy to set about attracting settlers from back east and the countries of Europe. One way to do that was to have a transportation system already in place. Some railroads were given right-of-ways and alternate sections of public land along them, with the off sections usually going for schools. The railroads advertised heavily back east and abroad to bring in settlers to whom they could sell land from their grant sections. To encourage purchases, the railroads sought to endow selected communities with an aura of stability by aiding in the building of sturdy courthouses, jails, and even churches. тАУRailroad Commission of Texas Which of the following most accurately summarizes this passage?
