Transportation Revolution Factories developed a need for faster cheaper means of
moving goods (transportation). Canals-
provided $$ from tolls faster transportation lower prices for goods (coal)
Steam locomotive (Most important) By 1870 rail lines crossed Britain, Europe & N. America
Steam power applied to improve shipping Steam boats were used to transport goods upriver to various ports
As the supply of goods increased, prices fell, and more goods were affordable
