 abstract = {Continued American expansion into former Indian homelands north and south of the Ohio River sparked a renewed passion for what American politicians called ‘‘internal improvements.’’ In addition to roads, canals seemed particularly promising. In 1825, the opening of the Erie Canal heralded a new era in commercial transportation, and nearly overnight it made Cleveland an Atlantic port by connecting it to the valuable New York trade network. Equally significant were the improvements in steamboat navigation that united Cleveland’s rival Cincinnati with New Orleans in a tight bond of corn, pork, and cotton exchange. The push for improved roads to connect},
