American.

America between 1820 & 1830.

5. • The early railroads were poorly integrated and it is mostly used
to transport goods rather than traveling directly between cities.

9. Factories and Mills in U.S.A.
• In the mid 1780s, Oliver Evans invented an automated flour
mill that included a grain elevator and hopper.
• By the turn of the century, Evans also developed one of
the first high-pressure steam engines and began
establishing a network of machine workshops to
manufacture and repair these popular inventions.
IIPM 9

10. • Between 1800 and 1820, new industrial tools that rapidly
increased the quality and efficiency of manufacturing
emerged.
• Simeon North suggested using division of labor to increase
the speed with which a complete pistol could be
manufactured which led to the development of a milling
machine in 1798.

11. Turnpikes and Canals in U.S.A.
IIPM 11

12. • As the country grew even larger with the admission of
Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio by 1803, the only means of
transportation between these landlocked western states
and their coastal neighbors was by foot, pack animal, or
ship. Recognizing the success of Roman roads in unifying
that empire, political and business leaders in the United
States began to construct roads and canals to connect the
disparate parts of the nation.
IIPM 12

13. • Early toll roads were constructed and owned by joint stock
companies that sold stock to raise construction capital.
• Despite the new efficiencies introduced by the turnpikes
and canals, travel along these routes was still time-
consuming and expensive.
• Then the idea of inventing a steamboat came into
consideration and it is the north river steamboat.
IIPM 13

14. • The north river steamboat made its first trip from New
York City north on the Hudson River to Albany on August
17, 1807.
• By 1820, steamboat services had been established on all
the Atlantic tidal rivers and Chesapeake Bay.
• The speed of the steamboats decreased travel times
between coastal ports and upstream cities by weeks and
costs for transporting goods along these rivers by as much
as 90%.
