True or false and why: river travel between the east coast and the new settlements in the west was the easiest way to move people and goods true or false

False

Explanation:

America used canals and boat travel to move people and goods from the North to the South and vise-versa. Not from the East to the West. There were no large bodies of water, let alone rivers, to transport people and goods from the East to the West. This is why the idea of a transcontinental railroad was so attractive to America during the mid-19th century, after the invention of the steam engine. Railroads were fast and could conduct trade and transportation  much quicker than most boats could, so after being built, railroads were the main method of transportation from the East to the West, and much conflict would arise in the coming future because of this.
