Waterways like the Mississippi and the St Lawrence and Hudson Rivers could be navigated carrying large numbers of passengers and freight and not dependent on the winds.
Larger steamships could cross the ocean which meant that America could export goods to e.g. Europe, also import goods, and people could emigrate and also immigrate.
Warships also developed, once the screw steamer had been invented the next step was to fit rotating turrets on the ships, instead of cannon opening in the ship's side. This enabled a ship to be more maneouvrable in battle. The first such battle took place between two ships during the Civil War and although it was inconclusive, it set the trend for future warships.
In 1897 a couple of British marine engineers invented the turbine, which greatly increased the efficiency of ships' steam engines. The US was quick to adopt this new technology for its own Navy.
By the 1930s and the advent of World War 2, many US warships were fitted with the turbine and this give them an advantage e.g. when escorting Allied Convoys against Nazi submarine 'U-Boat' attack.
