  2. Horsepower & Sailpower • Causes • Scarcity of money and labor in pioneer communities • Roads were poorly constructed and travel times were lengthy • Taverns were constructed along main roots of travel • Effects • The roads were poorly constructed, dangerous, and took a long time to travel through. Many travelers used alternative routes such as rivers and the Atlantic Ocean. • News took a very long time to travel between major cities, despite the development of the inter-colonial postal system. • Taverns provided entertainment, like bowling alleys, pool tables, and gambling equipment and also welcomed people of all social classes. The taverns produced a lot of gossip and political conversation and were the source of American revolutionary ideas.

  3. Colonial Highways • Southern highways began in Philadelphia • News of The Declaration of Independence took 29 days to reach Charleston from Philadelphia. • Distance from Fredericksburg, VA to Macon, GA was about 585 miles along the Upper Road https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Upper_Road
