<ul><li>{{#tip-text:Erie Canal | started in 1817 by the state of New York, connected the Hudson River with Lake Erie, thus joining New York City and its coastal and ocean trade networks to the Midwest, which provided markets for industrial goods, raw materials for factories, and movement of people and ideas; the Erie canal was a huge investment, thus needed financing from the state and its banking partners; the canal's economic importance is tremendous, although it and other canals were eclipsed by railroads due to the faster speed of railroads and their geographic flexibility; note that river-transportation is more efficient than on canals, especially with steamboats (that can move upstream), so rivers remain significant carriers of commercial traffic today}}</ul></li> | <ul><li>{{#tip-text:Erie Canal | started in 1817 by the state of New York, connected the Hudson River with Lake Erie, thus joining New York City and its coastal and ocean trade networks to the Midwest, which provided markets for industrial goods, raw materials for factories, and movement of people and ideas; the Erie canal was a huge investment, thus needed financing from the state and its banking partners; the canal's economic importance is tremendous, although it and other canals were eclipsed by railroads due to the faster speed of railroads and their geographic flexibility; note that river-transportation is more efficient than on canals, especially with steamboats (that can move upstream), so rivers remain significant carriers of commercial traffic today}}</ul></li> | ||
<ul><li>{{#tip-text:hub city | traditionally, cities arose on sea and major river ports that were geographically advantageous for settlement and trade; the rise of canals, roads, and railroads led to the rise of inland "hub cities" that usually grew along these routes or at intersections of them; the railroads and canals significantly contributed to the rising importance of "hub cities" on traditional river/ coastal locations, as they contributed to their commercial exchange:}}</ul></li> | |||
