An alliance that was formed with France included a pledge of military support when the time came and it was needed against Australia which was Italy's main difficulty in unifying Italy. <span />
<span>As part of Henry Clay's "American System", internal improvements including federal funding for roads and canals (see Erie Canal) would improve transportation and help commercialize the nation, as well as help develop ties between respective sections of America. One of these improvements was the National Road (fully completed in 1839), sometimes referred to as the Cumberland Road only because it begins in Cumberland, MD (and ends in Vandalia, Illinois). James' Madison and Monroe both supported interstate roads like this sensing the urgent need for decent transportation routes. But, when congressmen proposed spending federal money on local projects, the two presidents both were quick to veto them, citing their unconstitutionality. In 1830, Andrew Jackson unexpectedly vetoed the Maysville Road Bill. Being a westerner, he surely saw the urgent need for better transportation. Looking a little bit deeper, who was the American System proposed by? Henry Clay. Who was Jackson arch-political-rival? Indeed, Henry Clay. By this time, Jackson sought to end all of the debate over the internal improvements because they seemed to always dissatisfy somebody, so he refused to provide any federal funding for any of them. The impact of the internal improvements was immense, as it helped to country progress as a unified nation through much-needed transportation. And with projects like the National Road, commerce in the area would be changed for decades to come.</span>
- - Concerns struck about about allowing or banning slavery in newly established the territories<span> during the 1800s consisted of about the newer established territorials could have been a slave state, or a free state. Now they were concerned because no one liked the idea of becoming a free state as it was worried what would happen with banning slavery and such. Now if because a slave state then the senate would be more controlled by the south, as if a free, then northern people would have control. Now this scared everyone as there are some bad things about becoming a free state and some bad things about becoming a slave state. This concerns such as no more slaves, or many more. More people could become slaves and be sold, as a free state there is no more of that and sometimes people fear it due to making money off of it. These are the most common concerns about allowing or bann</span>ing slavery in newly established te<span>rritories during the 1800s.
