Quote
"Artificial rivers started becoming popular around the early 1800s such as James river and the Middlesex river. But railroads in the 1840s and 1850s provided cheaper and more flexible alternative than canals.'
Question
Why bother making something if just a couple of decades later something bigger and better comes along to replace the old thing.
Comment
The government spent so much money on artificial canals thinking it would be the new best method of travel but then the railroad came to be and all that money was wasted on canals. then in
1878 the car came and then all the money on the trains were put to waste.
