RE: Why Were The Radical Republicans Radical?
The railroads in North and South had different gauges and even differed between different railroads. The Pacific Railroad Acts (1862, 1864) called for what now called standard gauge of 4' 8.5" and this was made universal after the war all on one day (I forget the exact date).
