Question

Which answer best describes the effects that improvements in transportation had on the United States economy in the 1800s? A) they made it easier to move money more quickly. B) they made it easier for Americans to take vacations. C) they made it easier to move goods more cheaply and quickly. D) they made it easier for Americans to get to their jobs each day

Answer 1

They made it easier to move goods more cheaply and quality

Answer 2

The correct answer is C, as the improvements in transportation had a great effect on the United States economy by making easier to move goods more cheaply and quickly, thus promoting trade and population exchange between the different states of the country.

This situation consolidated the United States as one of the main producers of goods and services of the time, which, added to the conflicts with European nations, allowed the development of the national industry and its consolidation.
