Erie Canal has a Positive Impact on -ociety

The Erie Canal was completed in 1825. The Erie Canal offered safe, cheap, and fast travel from Ohio to New York or vice-versa. It connected The Hudson River and Lake Erie which is one of the Great Lakes. It was at one part called the eighth wonder of the world. As it should have been at the time, it helped businesses from Ohio expand and gain revenue. Although it did have it's drawbacks such as granting the cholera disease easier ways to spread, and it did cost a lot of money.  It also helped trade in the US expanded greatly. Not only were traders from Ohio given a chance to expand. It also allowed the people from the east to migrate west for a cheaper price. Instead of the normal 100 dollars to travel from Ohio to New York or vice-versa it was now priced at a convenient price of 10 dollars. All in all the goods of the Erie Canal outweighed the bads. It also payed off all of it's debts and generated excess money as well.
