What age did Fulton boost American into?
The steamboat invented by Robert Fulton, called the "North River Steamboat" (commonly referred to as the Clermont), helped boost the economy in America in the early 19th century. The steamboat was launched in 1807, and it made its first successful voyage up the Hudson River from New York City to Albany in that same year. The steamboat revolutionized transportation and commerce in America, making it possible to travel upriver and reach previously inaccessible markets, which in turn led to increased trade and commerce. The widespread use of steamboats helped to spur economic growth and development in the country, and they played a significant role in the expansion of American industry and commerce in the decades following their introduction.
