impact on America and steam boats today.
Hes steamboat really helped America. we were then able to travel people and goods faster,easier and up river.The thing is that peopl can use it to traid and sell cotton.it increases the slave population because, people want to make more and use slaves because they can move it quicker.At this age we still use steam boats. we also use more advansed boats and ships. we use things that do about the same thing as hes' steam boat, ours is just bigger and faster because,we all improved it over time.
