  • Changes in Transportation
    Summary: As settlers moved into the frontiers, they demanded better modes of transportation, beginning with better roads. Despite improvements, settlers demanded more and better means of moving themselves and materials around. Water transportation improved, and by the 1820s the river steamboat, canal barge, and flatboat carried people and merchandise in relative comfort and ease. Soon people built canals to enable movement from east to west. At the same time, Americans began looking to adopt the English-invented steam locomotive.
