"several members of Congress, to grant lucrative construction contracts"
The difference is that I see that part as the evil. As in who is the "corrupt", "graft" and "bribery" here referring to? It's the government.
Abusing the heck out of immigrants and genociding the native people, I'm pretty sure. Also this:
>Construction of the railroad provided many opportunities for financial chicanery, corruption, graft, and bribery. The greatest financial scandal of the 19th century grew out of the railroad's construction. The president of the Union Pacific helped found a construction company, called Credit Mobilier, which allowed investors, including several members of Congress, to grant lucrative construction contracts to themselves, while nearly bankrupting the railroad.
