Abstract
The industrial revolution is also fueled by improvements in transportation. Until the 1820s roads are the primary link between the East Coast and the country's interior. The expense of hauling goods overland causes some people to explore alternatives. Albert Gallatin, supported by Henry Clay, encourages the development of a canal system to bolster domestic trade. Railroads are in their infancy during the 1820s and 1830s, but in a relatively short period of time they overshadow the canals and all other modes of transportation. The telegraphs lines that track the trains become communication links across the country and feed the growing thirst for news.
