The construction of the Erie Canal.
<em>"New York’s geographical advantage was supplemented by the construction of the Erie Canal (1817–1825), and with the establishment of the Black Ball Line in 1818. While the Erie Canal connected the Hudson River to the Great Lakes and consequently to the fastest-growing parts of America west of the Appalachian Mountains, the Black Ball Line provided the first-ever regularly scheduled transatlantic passenger service. Both the Canal and the Line helped to solidify New York’s place as America’s center of commercial trade and central transportation hub."</em>
I would know about John Marshall. He was a federalist supreme court chief justice. He gave more power to the government by taking a loose construction of the Constitution. So basically he said, "If it doesnt say we (Fed Gov't) cant do it, then we can)".
<span>Know about these Court cases </span>
<span>Gibbons V. Ogden </span>
<span>McCullough V. Maryland </span>
<span>Fletcher V. Peck </span>
<span>Cohens V. Virginia </span>
<span>Barron V. Baltimore- this one is hard to find, so basically it just said that because the Bill of Rights was a Federal decision, it didnt apply to the states. </span>
<span>The rest are really easy to find out about, and you could type in John Marshall and it would probably give you all of these. </span>
