accomplished, will give expedition, uniformity, and

exactness to the whole.”

Moving West (Northwest territory) Traveling west was not easy

Baltimore, Maryland to Illinois

River travel had advantages

Robert Fulton developed a steamboat to go upstream for

passengers to use

steamboats brought a new age in river travel

Erie Canal

Growth and Expansion

Canals Rivers limited steamboats

A New York man came up with the idea to link river travel

together. He wanted to build a canal

A canal is an artificial waterway

The first canal built in America was the Erie canal

It linked New York City to Lake Erie

The success of the Erie canal lead to the building of more

canals
