What about the Fall Line makes navigating rivers difficult?

Answer:

Rivers of the Coastal Plain were a major means of commercial transportation during the 1700s and early 1800s. Cities founded along the fall line, called “fall line cities,” are located at the places where these rivers crossed the fall line, marking the upstream limit of travel. The city of Columbus, for example, was established where the Chattahoochee River crosses the fall line; Macon, Milledgeville, and Augusta are similarly located at the crossings of the Ocmulgee, Oconee, and Savannah rivers, respectively. These cities became important transportation hubs because traders could only travel upstream until they reached the waterfalls of the fall line. At that point they were forced to disembark and reload their cargo on the other side of the falls in order to continue their journeys. Columbus served as the upstream head of navigation for the Chattahoochee, as did Augusta for the Savannah River and Macon for the Ocmulgee River. After the first steamship arrived in 1828, Columbus became a gateway city for cotton. Above the fall line, flatboats and barges moved goods around the state. Below the fall line, steamships had unimpeded access to move goods, mostly cotton, into the Gulf of Mexico.

What finally ended the Great Depres-<br>sion (three words)​
stiv31 [10]

Answer: World War II.

Explanation:

By pursuing economic reforms to solve the financial crisis, Roosevelt introduced an economic reform package called the New Deal. These reforms partially addressed the problems of the economic crisis. However, this set of economic reforms has not thoroughly solved the accumulated problems. The crisis ceased at the beginning of the Second World War because, in this way, absolutely every segment of life changed. So the end of the economic crisis began at the beginning of World War II.
