The Transportation Revolution was the creation of cost efficient quicker travel and trade Types of transportations:
 * National Roads
 * Steamboats
 * Canals
 * Railroads

In 1791, the first turnpike was built The construction of the road helped the traveling and trading very easy Speed-4mph Cost-15 cents per ton/mile
 * National Roads**

Before the steamboats, traveling would take 1-4 months depending where you are traveling Robert Fulton, the first one every to put the steamboat to use The new invention helped Fulton travel 32 hours which should have taken him 30 days The heat engine and boiler runs the steamboat ** The heat comes for the fuel that was burned under the boiler, the heat boils the water and the steam is created. The steam is then led to the working parts of the engine Speed-5mph Cost-.33 cents per ton/mile For upstream rivers, the steamboat's tough engine is needed
 * Steamboats

Connects the lakes, rivers, and oceans together Two types of canals ** This help shorten the period of traveling First step: dig trenches with the perfect height, width, length, and altitude so that all ships are able to fit in Second step: build locks to bring the ship to the same altitude to the body of water it is transferring to Third step: build a dam to control the water level Speed-6mph Cost-.85 cents per ton/mile
 * Canals
 * Aqueduct
 * transports fresh water to the town or city
 * Waterways
 * transports ships for traveling or trading

A highway with a double track of wood rails There were problems with the first railroad because the breaks were unreliable, boilers exploded, and engines sparks caused fire on the fields Could travel in all seasons **
