The correct answer is; It was easier and faster to carry goods over water than over land.

Further Explanation:

In the 1820's through the 1830's, there were not roads like we have today. There were no semi trucks to carry goods and no highway systems in place to deliver items. There were no airplanes to transport goods to other countries.

Because of the lack of technology, the use of water transport was needed and was much faster back in the 1800's. Ships were being built and ports so that goods were traded faster. Store keepers could get their items needed in weeks compared to several months.
