People get to travel longer distances in shorter amount of time.
In the colonial days of North America, there were few roads that were safe or reliable, and no bridges to cross the frontier rivers. The most efficient way to transport goods was by boat, and the majority of goods were carried to ports downstream, as it was much harder to travel upriver.
By definition all rivers run downstream, with the possible exception of tidal effects where the river meets the sea (as the tide comes in, in some places the water may run "backward" up the river for a usually short distance).
