The Impact of the Steamboat
Before the invention of the steamboat, river travel was typically one way. Boats could easily travel with the current of the river, but any travel in the opposite direction had to be done on land. Steamboats changed this, allowing boats to easily travel against strong currents and increasing the speed of upriver transportation.The increased power afforded by a steam engine allowed steamboats to carry more cargo. This allowed operators to increase their profits from shipping, more goods, and passengers, and it also allowed the development of armored warships. Union steamboats proved valuable for securing the Mississippi River and other major waterways.
