Researchers are required to concern if the…
The market revolution is a term used to describe the increase of the exchange of goods and services in market transaction. In the first few decades of the nineteenth century, the transportation system was limited. The great rivers west of the Appalachians could not connect with the western famers to eastern markets since they flowed north to south.
