What changed did the industrial revolution bring about?
The industrial revolution led to more people moving into the cities and working at factories rather than farming. It led to railroads being built and canals being built to aid transportation of people and products.
Why do you think the rail roads was built alongside the canal?
Railroads do best where it's flat. Which is also where it's easy to build canals.
When were canals built?
canals were built in 1750 to 1900
What was bad about Canals?
they were being built everywhere and people were beginning to dump waste in them.
Who built the first canal did they succeed?
The oldest known canals were built in Mesopotamia about 6,000 years ago. They were irrigation canals and the foodstuffs produced as a result underpinned the rise of civilisation. The first ship canals were in Egypt, built nearly 4,500 years ago to bypass the Nile River cataracts to enable trade.
What transportation was proved to be better than canals?
Railroads were proven to be better than canals for transportation due to their speed, efficiency, and ability to traverse diverse terrains. Unlike canals, which were limited to waterways and required substantial infrastructure for construction and maintenance, railroads could be built more quickly and could facilitate the movement of goods and people over greater distances. Additionally, railroads offered lower costs for transporting heavy freight, leading to a significant shift in trade and commerce during the Industrial Revolution.
Did the south want the government built roads and canals?
The West wanted government-built roads and canals.
How were canals created?
Canals are artificial not natural. They are all built by humans.
Why did railroads become more important than canals?
Canals have significant drawbacks over railroads. Railroads can be run to wherever the materials, goods, or market are, whereas canals have geological constraints (best following an existing river, unworkable in mountainous terrain, going over hills requires either deep cuts or locks/dams/lakes/rivers). Also, railroads were much faster to operate than canal boats, making them preferred not only for cargo but also passengers.
When were railroads built?
1557.

The name is probably from "The Transportation Revolution, 1815-1860" (Economic History of the United States) by George Robert Taylor.
