The correct answer should be Mexico. Canada was north while China was on a completely different continent that had nothing to do with the railroad. Mexico became more accessible because the railroad went as far west as Nevada and California which were Mexican for a long time.

1. Rockefeller envisioned the consolidation of many small oil refineries into one giant company that controlled the production because, when the market for oil grew, the amount of buyers grew more, leading to prices going up and down and many small companies wet into bankruptcy. They created what they called "Our Plan" through Standard Oil to save the industry, by combining the businesses
2. The three major railroads running through Cleveland and the Oil Regions of Pensylvannia were really costly, but when they were initially setup and the traffic started to grow more and more, the costs decreased, causing very high losses to the them. Since Standard Oil had the market power they were able to get discounts on railway freight rates. If a railroad did not wish to work with the Standard’s demands they would just ship with another railroad, so most of the railroads ended up agreed to work with them to continue with the businesses. Railroads were Erie, New York Central, and Pennsylvania.
The public was attracted to both Theodore Roosevelt (in 1912) and Ross Perot (in 1992) because they were fiery, spirited men who challenged the status quo of politics. In both elections, running as 3rd party candidates, these men divided the votes of the Republican party, and thus both elections were won by Democratic party candidates.
In the 1912 election, the Republican Party was divided. Its conservative wing supported President William Howard Taft for reelection. Theodore ("Teddy") Roosevelt, who had been President from 1901-1909, led the progressive wing of the Republicans. Ultimately, Roosevelt and his supporters objected to the nomination of Taft as the Republican candidate, and formed a 3rd party, the Progressive Party, with Roosevelt as their presidential candidate. Roosevelt won 27% of the popular vote; Taft received 23% of the popular vote. Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson got 42% of the popular vote and carried 40 states to win the Electoral College vote handily.
In the 1992 election, Texas businessman Ross Perot painted himself as the non-political candidate and financed most of his own campaign with his own funds. He pledged to balance the government budget and enact policies that protected American businesses. Famously, he opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement, saying it would result in "a giant sucking sound" of American jobs heading south to Mexico. Though not officially a breakaway from the Republican Party, most of the votes Perot drew to himself came from the Republican side. In the 1992 election, incumbent Republican President George W. Bush got 37% of the popular vote, and Perot got 19%. The Democratic candidate, Bill Clinton, received 43% of the popular vote and carried 32 states to win the Electoral College victory with 370 electoral votes.
