Railroads and canals helped the United States grow by increasing the transportation of goods. Before canals and railroads, goods were moved by shipping with the flow of rivers or by horseback. Canals and railroads also allowed goods to be carried faster and in larger quantities then before.

Which development did not cause manufacturing to grow in the US between 1800 and 1840?

One development that did not cause manufacturing to grow in the US between 1800 and 1840 was the decline of agricultural productivity. While advancements such as the War of 1812, the rise of textile mills, and improvements in transportation (like canals and railroads) significantly boosted manufacturing, agricultural productivity remained a separate sphere that primarily influenced rural economies rather than directly impacting the growth of manufacturing during this period.
