Episode 8: By Land or By Sea
from VERY UNofficial: An AICP Study Guide Podcast · host Jonathan Miller, MPA, AICP, GISP
Now that the land we won from the Revolutionary War got all sliced and diced and sold and given away, people started moving west. It wasn’t easy though. Getting out there was hard, and making a living was even harder. The Appalachian Mountains almost left the new western frontier out in the proverbial cold, but innovations in the National Road and Erie Canal made it all possible.
