In Colonial and early America the only practical way to travel and trade across long distances was along the nation's natural waterways.
As a result, major towns and settlement centered around the nation's coasts and rivers. A few roads connected major cities, but travel on
them was difficult by horse or stage coach and very time consuming. A series of canals helped connect some inland areas and the Erie canal
was a ground breaking achievement that connected the Hudson river to the Great Lakes region.
