Would appreciate if somebody helped with this:)

International trade has become much faster.

it is far cheaper to ship something over long distances.

ships are still the primary method of shipping thing.

there are taxes on imported and exported goods. (tariffs)

the american rail road was the most influential and useful transportation system developed in the 1800's with steam locomotives and in the very late 1800's and early 1900's diesel electric locomotives being used to transport goods and people around the newly expanded united states!
