The man-made waterway that connected the East and the Midwest is the Erie Canal. Completed in 1825, it linked the Hudson River in New York to Lake Erie, facilitating the transportation of goods and people. The canal played a crucial role in the economic development of the Midwest by allowing for easier access to eastern markets. Its construction significantly contributed to the growth of cities along its route and the expansion of trade.
