1. The Transcontinental Railroad System provided jobs across the nation.  The invention of the steam engine caused transportation to improve. As a result, businesses made profit, and transporting products were easier and faster.

2. John McAdams was a Scottish engineer who modernized the way we built roads. He is important to transportation because of the changes he made to roads. He changed the roads by making sure the roadbeds were raised to make sure there was adequate drainage. The roadbeds were then laid with broken stones in symmetrical patterns, and covered with small stones to make a hard surface. McAdam discovered that the best stone or gravel for road surfacing had to be broken or crushed, and then graded to a constant size of chippings. This revolutionized roads, and helped a lot in regards to transportation, making it easier and faster.

3. The Erie Canal was a canal located in New York City and was completed in 1825. We benefited from railroads and canals while shipping goods because it made shipping cheaper and faster. Before railroads and canals took in place, shipping took longer because they had to deliver them, most likely on horses, and it often made the goods damaged.

Answer:

Explanation:And has ever since their departure been breaking out with greater violence after their embarkation. One of their justices, most thoroughly acquainted with the people and their intentions, on the trial of a man of the 14th Regiment, openly and publicly in the hearing of great numbers of people and from the seat of justice, declared "that the soldiers must now take care of themselves, nor trust too much to their arms, for they were but a handful; that the inhabitants carried weapons concealed under their clothes, and would destroy them in a moment, if they pleased". This, considering the malicious temper of the people, was an alarming circumstance to the soldiery. Since which several disputes have happened between the townspeople and the soldiers of both regiments, the former being encouraged thereto by the countenance of even some of the magistrates, and by the protection of all the party against government. In general such disputes have been kept too secret from the offi- cers. On the 2d instant two of the 29th going through one Gray's ropewalk, the rope-makers insultingly asked them if they would empty a vault. This unfortunately had the desired effect by provoking the soldiers, and from words they went to blows. Both parties suffered in this afftay, and finally the soldiers retired to their quarters. The officers, on the first knowledge of this transaction, took every precaution in their power to prevent any ill consequence. Notwithstanding which, single quarrels could not be prevented, the inhabitants constantly provoking and abusing the soldiery. The insolence as well as utter hatred of the inhabitants to the troops increased daily, insomuch that Monday and Tuesday, the 5th and 6th instant, were privately agreed on for a general engagement, in consequence of which several of the militia came from the country armed to join their friends, menacing to destroy any who should oppose them. This plan has since been discovered.
