Ohio River

For Kentucky.

They were interested in its fertile land, back in the 1800's fertile land meant farming and that lead to wealth and other riches.

The Mayflower..

A French post on the Ohio River was a trading post built so that fur trappers would have a place to trade their pelts. They also traded blankets and other goods with the Native American Indians at a fur trading post.

The best info that I can dig up suggest that the avg speed of the Ohio is about 1 1/2 to 3 miles per hour

Well it WAS used for a gateway for moving people and goods to the west.

There are little streams that join together first then become to a big one. There would be meander loops. Signs of erosion for example dirty muddy water.

The river dividing france and britian territories is the "Erie River"

so they could farm and settle there.

It hurt them because they lost their French allies and trading partners.

Ohio River is a very important river in ohio

It is important to know the location of the states, and the bodies of water near them. The three states just North of the Ohio River, are Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio.

Fresh water.

George Washington.

It wasn't only important to the French it was important to all the head nations (Britain, America) during this time period. The Ohio River Valley first off was very rich for farming. Also, the Ohio River provided transportation and access to water to bath and cook. This area also controlled the rest of the frontier trade.

The Brahmaputra River is known as the red sea because of the red silk.

At Cairo, Illinois, the Ohio joins the Mississippi. The three states that have borders there are Illinois (to the NE), Kentucky (to the SE) and Missouri (to the W).

Because Ohio was the first state that admitted to the Union coming from the West and having no affiliations with any other state . The 14th state admitted to the Union, Vermont, is not in the West and was made a state only because of a dispute of ownership between New York and New Hampshire. The next 2 states admitted to the Union were Kentucky and Tennessee, but both of these were associated with other states. For Kentucky, its statehood came after splitting off from Virginia and for Tennessee, North Carolina donated the land making Tennessee to the U.S. where it was later admitted into the Union. Ohio's path to statehood, starting with being a territory, would be followed by every state following it in the West, making it the Gateway to the West.

I looked at some maps, and the 5 states that the Ohio River borders, or at least touches are: -Pennsylvania (that's where it starts) -Ohio (it's namesake) -West Virginia -Indiana -Kentucky

don't forget Michigan

The river is formed by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers at Point State Park (called the "Point") in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It joins the Mississippi River at Cairo, Illinois.

The native Americans considered the Monongahela to be the same as the Ohio and the Allegheny as a branch.

The deepest part is in Colorado. (That's a lie) I wish this question would get answered too.

Allegheny River (from the North East) and the Monongahela River (from the South East) meet to form the Ohio River.

because it was a trading route to the Mississippi river

Clark

It begins at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and runs to Cairo, Illinois where it meets the Mississippi River.
