The building of roads and canals in the United States in the early 19th century resulted in stronger economic ties between the East and the West.

Explanation:

The phenomenon that many refer to as the 'transportation revolution' is deemed to have taken place in the early 19th century. The Louisiana Purchase that happened in 1803 doubled the size of the nation and the War of 1812 surfaced the need for enhanced transportation and communication facilities in the interiors of the country.

In line with the same, many small and large construction projects of roads and canals were undertaken during this period which culminated in the formation of expanded networks of transportation. These networks served to connect the far east and the far west of the country and also enabled the development of healthy economic ties between the East and the West.
