Steamboats transported goods and people (5 gen 1800 anni – 3 giug 1920 anni)
Descrizione:
Before trains, cars, trucks andairplanes existed, rivers were used for
travel. They carried people and goods from
one place to another in essence interstate commerce was revolutionized by steamboats. River travel was often
slow because speed of travel depended on
the river current and manpower. That all
changed with the introduction of steampowered
boats in the late 1700s and early
1800s. Steamboats caused barge traffic, the movement (as of vehicles or pedestrians) along a route.
Interstate commerce refers to the purchase, sale or exchange of commodities, transportation of people, money or goods, and navigation of waters between different states.
