Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions from 01 to 10 set below
During the Colonial period in American History, communication and trade were mostly conducted by
ocean-going vessels sailing along the eastern seaboard. As farms and great estates developed inland, the
rivers of the east became the main transportation routes for people and goods. The settlement of the
west brought the Mississippi river system into the national transportation network, and eventually the
steamboat made the Mississippi the foremost inland carrier of all. With the introduction of the steamboat
to the Mississippi waters by Robert Fulton in 1811, transportation time and coats were greatly reduced.
As technogical improvements increased the speed at which boats could travel, particularly upstream, from
one river port to another, operates were able to make a profit and greatly reduce rates at the same time.
The steamboat also raised the volume of goods exchanged between the south and the rapidly growing
West. Produce grown in the western states was transported quickly down to leaves of New Orleans for
shipment overseas or for distribution by coastal vessels to the rest of the south and the south West and
even the East. Most of the commodities from abroad were funneled into this booming port for shipment
