<span>Robert Fulton<span> built the first useful steamboat with a Watt steam engine. In 1807, he tested the Clermont. His steamboat helped speed up industrialization. The Clermont’s success increased interest in canal and river transport. The majority of Americans did not agree of the effectiveness of steam power until 1825, when the Erie Canal opened for boats to travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. New York City became an important port. Goods from this port could reach Buffalo, New York, in two fewer weeks and 95 percent less cost than before. The success of the Erie Canal began a wave of canal building. By 1840, the United States was home to 3,326 miles of canals.

The advantage of speedboats were their speed and cost.
At the time, they were the fastest way to travel canals, rivers, even oceans.
Steamboats were also less expensive to use and faster to travel.

Answer:
Their speed and cost</span></span>

If this answer doesn’t fulfill all of your questions, or it doesn’t have the exact information you are looking for, I apologize. But, I will try to help you to my best ability! <3</h3><h3 /><h2>Answer:</h2><h3>The most important players in the early fur trade were Indigenous peoples and the French. The French gave European goods to Indigenous people in exchange for beaver pelts. The fur trade was the most important industry in New France. With the money they made from furs, the French sent settlers to Canada.</h3><h3>France and England were bitter enemies at this time. Indeed, one of the principal goals of the French fur trade during the 1700s was to maintain strong ties and military alliances with the Indians. Between 1698 and 1763, France and England fought a series of four wars for control of North America.</h3><h3>By the early 1700s, the fur trade was firmly established in the Great Lakes region. The French empire was based on the fur trade in this region and required Native American alliances to sustain it. Native people and the French traded, lived together, and often married each other and built families together.</h3><h3>The fur trade led to the extinction of certain animals in some Indian lands, leading the Indians living there to seek furs on the lands of other tribes. The first was the British refusal to trade with Indians who had been French trading partners. The second was the British settlements on Indian lands.</h3><h3 /><h3>Again, hope this helps! Good luck! :D</h3><h3 /><h3>~!+~!+~!+!+~!+~!+~!+~+!+~+!+~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+~!+~+!+~+!~+!+~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+~!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~+!~</h3>
