[05:06.65]Today I'm going to discuss transportation and communication

[05:10.28]in the earty 19th century in the United States.

[05:13.44]At that time,inland waterways provided North America's most popular from of long distance transportation.

[05:20.34]Travel by river was often more convenient than taking a wagon 3 over primitive 4 country road

[05:26.06]especially when shipping 5 heavy loads of farm products or household good

[05:30.16]Where the natural waterways were inadequate 6

[05:32.62]shallow canals were built.

[05:34.34]The Erie Canal,opened in 1825,connected the Great Lakes with the upper Hudson River.

[05:40.17]It allowed settlers in the Great Lakes region to send their crops eastward 7 to New York City

[05:45.00]the mouth of the Hudson at a much lower cost.

[05:47.82]From there,crops could be shipped to other Atlantic ports.

[05:51.92]The construction of the Erie Canal also encouraged westward 8 migration 9 along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier.

[05:59.39]The City of Detroit grew up between two of the Great Laker.

[06:03.63]Later a canal joined the Great Lakes with the Mississippi river system and Chicago became a thriving city.

[06:10.36]Politically the waterway system untied 10 the nation in a way few had imagined possible.

[06:15.75]By the mid 11 -- 1800's faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined

[06:23.09]railroads could be used year round whereas canals were often frozen in the winter

[06:28.31]During the first third of the century,however

[06:31.05]tranportation on river

[06:32.78]lakes and canals aided greatly in the growth of the United States.

[06:37.11]Next week we'll discuss the railroads in greater detail.

[06:41.01]17. What is the main idea of this lecture?

[06:45.34]18. When was inland waterway travel most popular?
