Transportation Revolution (15 gen 1800 anni – 28 gen 1900 anni)

Descrizione:

Americans in the early 1800s were a people on the move, as thousands left the eastern coastal states for opportunities in the West. Unlike their predecessors, who traveled by foot or wagon train, these settlers had new transport options. Their trek was made possible by the construction of roads, canals, and railroads, projects that required the funding of the federal government and the states.

In essence new form of transportation were developed to help better facilitate interstate commerce across long distances and to help spread more Americans westward.
