Newer Roads

• Corduroy Roads were made of logs.

• The National Road (1806) was the 1st time Congress set aside money for road building.

Water Routes to the West

• Going downstream, flatboats along the Ohio River were faster than roads.

• Upstream travel was difficult until steamboats.

• John Fitch’s steam engine ferry (1787) did not succeed.

• Robert Fulton’s Clermont (1807) did.

• Henry Shreve came up w/ a flat-bottomed steamboat.

• The Erie Canal was built to ship goods between the Great Lakes and New York.

A Problem w/ British Goods

• Their factories were already paid for, so they didn’t have to put out as much capital as Americans getting started w/ factories.

The “evil” British plan

• Sell goods so cheaply that they run Americans out of business, then raise the prices!

The Congressional Response

• Put a high Protective Tariff on European goods.

• Southerners said that the tariff made Northerners rich at their expense.

McCulloch v. Maryland

• States have no right to interfere w/Federal institutions within their borders.

Gibbons v. Ogden

• Federal gov’t regulates trade between states.(interstate commerce)
