Passage Three
Today I'm going to discuss transportation and communication
in the earty 19th century in the United States.
At that time,inland waterways provided North America's most
popular from of long distance transportation.
Travel by river was often more convenient than taking a wagon
over primitive country road
especially when shipping heavy loads of farm products or
household good
Where the natural waterways were inadequate
shallow canals were built.
The Erie Canal,opened in 1825,connected the Great Lakes with the
upper Hudson River.
It allowed settlers in the Great Lakes region to send their crops
eastward to New York City
the mouth of the Hudson at a much lower cost.
From there,crops could be shipped to other Atlantic ports.
The construction of the Erie Canal also encouraged westward
migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier.
The City of Detroit grew up between two of the Great Laker.
Later a canal joined the Great Lakes with the Mississippi river
system and Chicago became a thriving city.
Politically the waterway system untied the nation in a way few
had imagined possible.
By the mid -- 1800's faster and cheaper railroads became more
popular and the canal system declined
railroads could be used year round whereas canals were often
frozen in the winter
During the first third of the century,however
tranportation on river
lakes and canals aided greatly in the growth of the United
States.
Next week we'll discuss the railroads in greater detail.
17. What is the main idea of this lecture?
18. When was inland waterway travel most popular?
19. What was usually transported from west to east?
20. What was NOT a result of the inland water system in the
United States?
