What is true about the first steamboats Transport meant A People moved to cities B people saw the Pacific Ocean C travel onthe Mississippi and Ohio Rivers increased D Immigration to the US soared?

Answer 1

One hub of steamboat building was in Fayette County, Pennsylvania at Uniontown PA on the Monongahela River. "The Mon" River met the Allegheny and Ohio Rivers north at Pittsburgh PA (was called Pittsburg* with no h). Using the Ohio River, ships with cargo and passengers could travel all the way to the Mississippi River! There, ships could go north or south, which opened more markets for goods to be sold. Steamboat transportation along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers greatly increased. Previously, men used rafts with a rope attached at both shores just to cross the Mon River; raft travel downstream was dangerous and fraught with problems.
