Unit 1 Long Essay Question From 1600 to 1763, British North America established trans-Atlantic interactions with Europe and Africa. British North America traded goods with Europeans and Africans in exchange for other goods and people. The trans-Atlantic interactions from 1600 to 1763 contributed greatly to fostering change in labor systems, through slave trade and the decrease in transportation of indentured servants, while still somewhat maintaining continuity in labor systems, through a continued sense of superiority in settlers and harsh treatment of slaves and indentured servants. Trans-Atlantic interactions from 1600 to 1763 fostered change in labor systems through an increase in slave trade.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, The Dutch East India company left a lasting impact on the world, which greatly changed the course of history and even affected the world we live in today.

Have you ever needed easier access to the essential items to stay alive? This is specifically what the residents of the North-East thought around the year 1817. Carol Sheriff argues in her book, “The Artificial River” that the residents of the canal corridor actively sought after long-distance trade and therefore consumer goods that markets brought to their homes. The fact that people supported the Erie Canal at all "suggests that at least some aspired to engage in broader market exchange" (p. 11). The transformation of this region because of the Erie Canal is organized around six topics, each of which is covered by a chapter. They include the; Visions of Progress, the Triumph of Art over Nature, Reducing Distance and Time, the Politics of Land and Water, the Politics of Business, and the Perils of Progress.

In 19th century, Henry Clay proposed three terms to improve United States, as we called “American System”: establishing the Bank of the United States, protecting American manufacturers, and building canals and roads. For internal improvements, the construction of Erie Canal and Cumberland road played an important role in the development of the market in West and Northeast. First, Erie Canal linked the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean, and it helped western farmers to transport crops to the east much faster and more convenient.

Both of these two constructions dramatically promoted the Market Revolution

In the early 19th century, the Erie Canal was one of the largest and most expensive projects like this of it’s time. The canal connected New York city to the great lakes to increase trade of luxury items. Sheriff adequately explained the impact of the canal on different parts of society- farmers, ditch diggers, the captains of the canal boats, housewives, merchants, and missionaries. One of the most interesting parts of this book is that many of their societal problems that they faced during the antebellum period are reflected in our time. The Artificial River also explains the paradox of progress that the citizens of New York faced due to the building of the canal, they wanted all the different luxuries that they couldn’t have where they lived, like pearls and oysters, but they didn’t want to change their lifestyles.

Everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree then it will live its whole live believing that it is stupid. (Albert Einstein) Beginning in 1817 and opened in its entirety in 1825, the Erie Canal is considered the engineering marvel of the 19th century.

The Erie Canal, which was three-hundred sixty miles, forty feet wide and four feet deep at its completion, was able to bridge a connection from Lake Erie to the Hudson and was a reliable form of transportation (as the roads were not the network it is today). The Erie Canal, after its construction was able to rupture the boundaries of western and eastern (northeastern) New York and encouraged inward and outward flow (migration) of people, animals, goods, money, trade, sickness and disease, ideas, and news, and was able to deconstruct as well as reconstruct the identity of New York State as a consequence of its success. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how the Erie Canal shaped and reshaped the identity of New York State through the compression and expansion of space and time during industrialization, the second wave of globalization, through the canal’s economic success, and through the rupturing of boundaries.

New Orleans is one of the lowest spots in the United States, it is already as much as 17 feet below sea level in some places, and it continues to sink more than an inch a year. Re-developing New Orleans will be a difficult aspect because of its location, topography and weather conditions. However, New Orleans is one of the most culturally rich urban

Good Afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Today, my first topic is about the Louisiana Purchase, which many forget is a significant event in our history. It is us job to remind people of the importance through our new book.
