The Role Of Transportation In The Industrial Revolution

I am going to tell the story about the Role of Transportation in the Industrial Revolution and what I learned from my research about it. Also I am going to give you some information about the past, present, and even the future role of transportation in the Industrial Revolution. I will be informing you about what I have learned about the Industrial Revolution and give you a little history about how it begin. Far as how it begin I am also going to tell where it all came from and who started it as well.
During my research of the industrial revolution I learn that first off before the Industrial Revolution people had to use horse wagons which meant they did not get very far on those. Which mean that because of the Industrial Revolution the growth
Back then there was three main points to transport raw materials and finished goods across the country. Because of the change of using waterways, roads, and railroads we can just use cars. Not only cars but, we can use planes as well, we can airmail whatever we need to get over to the other side. Also before even worrying about transportation, they had to focus on manufacturing. They had to build new cars, trains, and trucks. The 21st century made it better for companies to transport finished goods and raw materials. We can even use bulldozers if needed to and that can help us out along way when figuring out how things will get from one place to another.
When talking about the transportation American transportation and Britain’s was similar to each other.

In Britain there was roads as well, but goods was slowly transported on the roads by horses and when going from town to town they used stagecoaches.
Transportation innovations helped a connection with the Americans, encouraging a sense of nationalism. The transportation revolution pushed 19th century America through the process of integrating the continent into a single cultural and economic entity. The transportation revolution in the United States had been urged by the Easterners to get involved with what the west had to offer. Turnpike, canals, steamboats, and railways a truly continental economy.
Innovations cut the cost and increased the speed of moving goods, helping to make a national market and give a quickness for regional specialization. Westerners, with their swiftly growing population, became meaningful producers of commercial agriculture, supplying the North and the South with food. Northerners supplied the West with textiles and other manufactured goods. Southerners supplied the North with cotton, the raw material they needed to produce their
