Growth of Cities and Transportation National Infrastructure (virtual classroom p6) In this period, many families moved west of the Appalachian Mountains to claim land in the new American territories stretching to the Mississippi River. Their travel was difficult, taking a week to cross the distance a car might drive today in a few hours Growth of Cities and Transportation National Infrastructure (virtual classroom p6). In response, private companies built the young nation's roads and waterways. These roads were often turnpikes, or toll roads, which travelers paid a fee to use. Growth of Cities and Transportation National Infrastructure (virtual classroom p6) In turn, these fees were used to pay for upkeep of the new roads. Where roads could not be built, barges were used on rivers to carry people and goods as long as the rivers flowed in the same direction as the settlers and merchants wanted to travel. Soon a new invention, the steamboat, enabled people to buy a ticket from private companies that operated the boats and travel upstream as easily as downstream. Growth of Cities and Transportation National Infrastructure (virtual classroom p6) Lastly, in the wilderness where rivers did not run and roads could not be built, government leaders joined businesspeople to build canals or artificial rivers.government leaders These shallow waterways were for barges, not steamboats, and had pathways alongside where horses or mules pulled them. Growth of Cities and Transportation National Infrastructure (virtual classroom p6) Erie Canal The most famous canal built in this era was the Erie Canal, which connected the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. It was opened in 1825 after eight years of digging by thousands of laborers, mostly immigrants. It stretches 363 miles from Lake Erie to the Hudson River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean at New York City.

The city was home to the biggest gathering of artisans and crafts workers in the United States, and its banking and commercial activities would soon make it the leading city in all of North America.
