Philadelphia was great for trading and factories because <u>it was on a river,</u> located along the Delaware River and Schuylkill River, in the greater Delaware Valley.
People here in Philadelphia traded lumber, coal, furs, textiles, and bricks.
Philadelphia was a trade center for the colonies that based an important part of its economy on trade with the advantage that was located next to the river and had ports.
In early 1798, Bonaparte proposed a military expedition to seize Egypt. In a letter to the Directory, he suggested this would protect French trade interests, attack British commerce, and undermine Britain's access to India and the East Indies, since Egypt was well-placed on the trade routes to these places.
Hope this helps
