===Commercial growth: Erie Canal=== The critical east/west American trade route through the frontier was improved by construction of the [[Erie Canal]]. On July 4, 1817, construction on the canal began in Rome. The Erie Canal reaches a summit in Rome, attaining an elevation of 420 feet.<ref name="k936">{{cite journal | last=Schoff | first=Wilfred H. | title=The New York State Barge Canal. Part II | journal=Bulletin of the American Geographical Society | publisher=[American Geographical Society, Wiley] | volume=47 | issue=7 | year=1915 | issn=0190-5929 | jstor=201433 | pages=498β508 | url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/201433 | access-date=2024-12-28}}</ref> The first phase was completed in 1825, connecting the [[Hudson River]] by waterway to the [[Great Lakes]]. It resulted in an increase in trade and traffic between communities around the Great Lakes and New York City, stimulating development all along the route.
