Best Answer

There were three ways for shipping items and people. It was by ship, steamer, or railroad . By 1860 the railroad went east to the west coast taking passengers and goods through the central hub of Chicago. If items were coming from Europe it would have been by ship and river traffic in the United States was by steamer.
