Chapter 9 is Market Revolution and two significant events according to me were the steamboats and the development of the railroads. Earlier it was very difficult for people to travel to distant places and it almost took 50 days to travel to distant places but the steamboats and the railroads made it easier not only for the people to travel but for the market to expand and the economy as well. It helped in the revolution of America by making it easier to travel upriver. Steamboats majorly helped in the expansion of market for the goods.
