;-; i'm giving you 25 points ; -; 1. what methods of transportation did pioneers use to move to the west? 2. why did canals seem to be the answer to the country’s transportation problems? 3. how did the erie canal affect trade to the western regions of the united states?

Pioneers used covered wagons to travel west

1. Some methods they used are wagons, trains, or boat.

2. canals helped travel get faster since it can be cut into land and they don't have to curve all the way around.

3. it helped trade since they can use the canal to bring in ships so the transportation can be better so they can trade with the western region of US better.

I hope this helps for you!
