Which policy did the U.S. government favor during the late 19th century to develop frontier regions?

If it wasn't for the Federal government of the United States of America, the construction of railroads between 1860 and 1900 would have not taken place. That was a very expensive investment and private banks were afraid that railroad companies could never pay their debts. To fix the situation, the american congress provided lands to the companies so they could sell and make the railroads, contributing to a faster settlement in the West.
