A Near the Arctic

Explanation:

The known indigenous people of central Africa, Southern Asia and Northern Australia have dark skin, with the skin of people of central Africa and Northern Australia being darker than the people of Southern Asia.

In contrast, the Indigenous people near the Arctic have a light skin color. Prior to mass worldwide migrations, darker skin color was found in the people in the southern hemisphere while lighter skin color was found in the northern hemisphere.

the first phase of the government’s plan for settlement was building the transcontinental railroad. the railroad provided a way to bring settlers and manufactured goods west and ship their agricultural and mining produce east. the transcontinental railroad was an essential artery for rapid development of the frontier.

the second phase of the government’s plan was a liberal land distribution policy that made it possible for many people to homestead. with these two key elements—transportation and cheap land—the government rapidly achieved its goal of persuading people to move west, settle on farms, and push back the frontier.
