Answer:

by referring to the effects of the Erie Canal

Explanation:

"As the water of the lakes found the salt sea when the Erie Canal was opened, so surely will quick communication seek and find this noble Bridge, and as the ships have carried hither and thither the products of the mighty West, so shall diverging railroads transport the people swiftly to their homes in the hospitable city of Brooklyn.

This Bridge is a landway over the water, connecting two cities bearing to each other relations in some respects similar." It talks about and shows what Erie Canal did in comparison to the bridge.

Hey why is the sky blue
Tems11 [23]
The sky is blue because when light from the sun enters our atmosphere, mostly blue light is refracted towards where we can see it, while most other colors are not. It's reflected by the atmosphere more because blue has a shorter wavelength, so it will collide with particles more often.
