What was the result of the construction of the canal from Lake Erie to Hudson River?
The construction of the Erie Canal, connecting Lake Erie to the Hudson River, significantly transformed trade and transportation in the United States. Completed in 1825, it facilitated the movement of goods and people between the Midwest and the Atlantic Ocean, reducing shipping costs and time. The canal spurred economic growth in New York and connected the interior of the country to international markets, contributing to the rapid development of cities along its route. Additionally, it played a crucial role in the westward expansion of the U.S. economy.

Did Lake Erie exist in the Pennsylvania Colony?
The Boundary and Borders of the western lands were ill defined with competing claims that took no small effort to negotiate final settlement. For example Virginia clained the lower left hand corner of Pennsylvania until 1780. Maryland claimed much of southern Pennsylvania until the Mason Dixon line was established in 1767. Connecticut had a claim on northern Pennsylvania until 1786. Pennsylvania had a claim on much of eastern New York until 1774. The final shift was the purchase of the Lake Erie Triangle from New York in 1792.
Lake Erie existed but who it belonged to and at what point the final map would be drawn was in dispute for many years. Neat lines drawn on a map such as those in the four corners region were not readily available with the surveying technology available in early Colonial America. The DelMarVa peninsula is an excellent example of political expediency as opposed to good cartography. The founding fathers desperately needed a good GPS system.
Yes there are trilobite's located on the shores of Lake Erie. Lake Erie was once covered by salt water (the ocean) and much of the shores between Fort Erie and Port Colborne are covered in fossilized ocean bottom. We're talking long before dinosaurs, I think the fossils are 200m to 400m years old. Upper-Devonian & Cabrian period, when critters had yet to live on land.
I comb the beach often looking for fossils. You'll find lots of corals, tube worms, and other non-vertibrates. I found a fossilized snail once, in perfect condition in the rock, and I just recently found a trilobite. Picture attached. There are better pictures on the web, but this one is mine!
What are the two states that border Lake Erie?
It is bounded on the north by the Canadian province of Ontario, on the south by the U.S. states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, and on the west by the state of Michigan.
