It took eight years to build the Erie Canal.

DeWitt Clinton believed in the Erie Canal and got funding for it. It was designed by Benjamin Wright and built by Irish immigrants.

All goods were shipped, as well as people! Raw materials such as timber were moved east while pioneers with their families were moved west. Much of Michigan and Northern Ohio were settled by people traveling west on the Erie Canal.

The effects were huge.

People could move westward easily and cheaply. The connection into the Great Lakes allowed the expansion of the United States throughout the Great Lakes region.

Manufacturing was spread out, putting factories near the sources of raw materials without restricting the market. Goods or raw materials could be transported throughout the area cheaply, allowing New York to be come a center of industrialization.

It allowed for more people to move westward, which in turn brought more raw materials to the east and finished products back to west. It increased trade and fostered economic growth.

The National Road was the first major highway in the United States. The initial stage of the project began in 1811; but it took a long period of time to build the road, and the project finally came to an end in 1839.

In the midst of the building of the National Road, work began on the Erie Canal, starting in 1817. The canal was opened for traffic in October 1825. Thus, there were six years between when the National Road's construction began and the construction of the Erie Canal was started.

People built canals because, before steam engines, it was easier to float heavy loads from one place to another than to move them by wagon or sled or on the backs of animals or people.

The Erie Canal opened on October 26, 1825. It ended at the city of Buffalo, NY. From there passengers needed to book a different ship to get to Ohio or Michigan.

The American Revolution started in 1776. The Erie Canal was started in 1817.

Canals cut months or weeks from travel time by ships. This helped establish in-country trade for the newly established USA. Goods could go through locks and dams on rivers (at Pittsburgh PA for example) to the Ohio River through the Ohio Territory, over to the Mississippi River. Erie Canal through NYS shortened overland travel from the Hudson to The Great Lakes, through first Lake Erie. The Panama Canal and Suez Canal shortened sea and Gulf travel, and enlarged international trade.
