Isa, What great questions you start with! The rail question is not timely (railroad and engines invented in mid 19th century)but interesting to chart, none the less. Your second question is really great, too, as it allows you to really focus your writing on the text and make direct comparisons throughout. It could be a little formulaic, but work very nicely. Bravo!
Your questions are really interesting. It really makes you think of what happened to all those people. It's very good that you are making comparisons from the text to the history.
