Answer:
The geographical location of New York makes it easier to be a natural link from New England to states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Michigan because it is in the center of the two regions. There is also no mountains in the route from New England to the states across.
It is not always good to expect from people. There is much more satisfaction in expecting more from yourself when you know that you can do more. Learn to be independent. We are free humans, safe from slavery unlike in the old days. There is much more freedom available for a majority of the people around the world. Therefore, one must take advantage of this. Learn to stand on your own feet, and look for people who can actually be available and will be concerned with your personal problems. Maybe you are the one who can help them before they can help you. It is a give and take situation sometimes.
During the Revolution, men were off fighting for the new nation. Many of them had to take out loans to keep their farms going in their absence. After the war, the creditors wanted their money. Sometimes the states backed the debtors and ordered the creditors to forgive the debts. But, sometimes they backed the creditors and the peoples' farms - their homes - were foreclosed. Many men were put in debtor prison until family members could come up with the money to get them out.
The new nation was in a horrible crisis with inflation. The war had been financed by loans from Spain and France. The money had to be repaid, but because of the Revolution, a lot of business was lost from the former colonies. Trade with the British West Indies was gone. The new government asked the states for more money, but they said no.
The answer was to print more money, but of course, that never works. It made the money less and less valuable. So now the people had fistfuls of worthless money. So now you have all of these farmers, who had fought in the Revolution, unable to keep their farms. Now they cannot feed their family and they have no property, which at that time meant in most states they could not vote.
