This project uses data visualizations in Tableau to better understand the legislative process to incorporate railroad companies in antebellum Virginia. It employs interactive dashboards to track the progress of bills through the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate. Explore the dashboards in the project overview or select one of the guides for bills related to the incorporation of the Manassas Gap Railroad: the failed attempt to incorporate the company in the 1848-1849 session OR the successful attempt completed in 1850.
