Importance of Water!

US populations mid 1800's:

•New York, NY

•Baltimore, MD

•Boston, MA

•Philadelphia, PA

•New Orleans, LA

•Cincinnati, OH

•Brooklyn, NY

•St. Louis, MO

•Spring Garden, PA

•Albany, NY

Most all of these cities are on the east coast. The only city I haven't heard of on this list is Spring Garden, PA. I believe all these cities are on the water. This was important in 1800's because they traded and traveled by water.
