• Impact of the Erie Canal–Cost of shipping 1 ton of grain from Buffalo to NYC drops $100 to $5; time from 20 days to 6.–Food prices drop as a result; potato prices drop 50% (hurts New England farmers, who move west).–Towns and cities emerge on the canal; transforms the Trans-Allegehny west into a center of commercial agriculture.
