Technology and transportation

By Dustin Hayes

 This blog will be on the changes in technology from the 1700s to the 1850s and their impact on present day transportation. The project will discuss how transportation transformed from sails and horses to steamships and locomotives. It will also go over the effect that railroads had on the development of the former colonies and eventually, the creation of the transcontinental railroad.
