The US went through revolutionary advancements in transportation from 1800 to 1840. The transportation improvements had substantial effects on the economy and also individual development. People could now buy goods that were made in places faraway because access was easier to towns and cities and people’s experiences grew as they were able to be more mobile (309). The roads were inadequate in 1800, so the federal government funded the National Road in 1808 to establish its dedication to improve the roads in the nation and so then by 1839 the East and West would be tied together (309). Commerce was still inadequate even with the National Road funded which improved transportation.

The investigation’s research question is “To what extent did the California Gold Rush have a significant role in the development of American transportation systems?” This essay focuses in particular on the growth and improvement of the transportation networks of the three main ways to California: the Cape Horn Route, the Panama Route, and the overland route. These three methods to ship goods and people were significantly impacted by the California Gold Rush and its consequent effects. This is an important topic to investigate because it is vital to understand how transportation networks develop as new methods of transportation arise in the modern world such as high speed rail and, in the future, possibly even space travel. It is necessary to
1. What was the Transportation Revolution and how did it effect the U.S. in a positive way? The Transportation Revolution was the building of roads and canals. This revolution also brought on the steamboat.
To begin, the railroads played a very important role in improving transportation and communication, in ways that canals and steamboats could not. First, railways created quicker travel for the transportation of food and goods. Due to this, the cost of these goods dropped. The railroads also ended at docks, which allowed the United States to participate in the international trade with countries such as: Asia and South America. Next, the travel of people was made much faster by railroad than other modes of transportation.

Countries and town have always fought over who is to control the supply centers or railroads, but with the confederate government to slow to recognize the importance of them, they weren’t in good shape by 1963.

As the unemployment rate began to decrease and the factories became numerous, transportation improved and became an important part of America's lifestyle. Technology was updated and improved which greatly benefited transportation systems, as it allowed electric street cars, commuter trains, and subways to travel around America's major cities and transport workers who lived outside the cities to the factories (Lapsansky-Werner, Levy, Roberts, Taylor 104). By 1883, there were three transcontinental railroads spread around the U.S., but as the transportation systems began expanding, there was a barrier that made it difficult to set schedules. At the time, most of the cities and towns independently set their clocks, thus, the time Schulte v.
The Transportation Revolution in the U.S. was a time of economic and social growth because it encouraged Americans to look beyond their local communities. The Revolution increased the economic benefits one could reap from producing goods by providing a more efficient way to move goods from one area to another by using canals or railroads. The Revolution in the mid 19th century also connected the East to the West, allowing for faster movement of goods from point A to point B. Before the 1820’s, many farmers produced what they needed to in order to be self-sustaining, meaning trade was minimal and there was little interaction between different areas of the U.S. The Transportation Revolution changed this, providing a commercial economy people
