Chapter VI CONCLUSION The Illinois and Michigan Canal has played a notable part in the history of the state. The project for its construction grew out of the well recognized importance of the development of commercial routes between the Mississippi valley and the Atlantic seaboard cities that would materially lessen the excessive economic burdens of transportation. In the effort to establish such "through routes" the construction of a canal was proposed at almost every portage from western Pennsylvania to the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers. Physiographically, the Chicago portage offered the most feasible place for an artificial connection between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi system. The necessary length of a canal across this portage would not be great. The elevation to be overcome was less than elsewhere. The available water supply was abundant. No other proposed route possessed all these advantages. Despite these advantages, however, the project languished till the construction of the Erie Canal provided for the commerce of the lake region a more direct and inexpensive route to the Atlantic coast markets than was furnished by the St. Lawrence, and till the admission of Illinois to the Union and the increasing population of this and neighboring states provided a local interest in the construction of the proposed canal, and consequently furnished a persistent and effective demand for it. It was due to the financial difficulties which beset the young state that more than a score of years were permitted to elapse after the land grant by the federal government, before a cargo of freight passed through the canal. These difficulties were augmented by the unwise extension of other internal improvement schemes in the state, by the financial...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago Historical Society's Collection, Vol. 10: The Illinois and Michigan Canal, a Study in Economic History Chief among these are the Erie Canal and the Mississippi River with its important tributaries. Each of them played a large part in the commercial development of the Middle West. But each acquires added importance when united with the other, so that they unitedly form a commercial highway extending from the Atlantic, through the Great Lakes down to the Gulf of Mexico, and reaching the large and growing trade of the inte rior. At the middle of last century these two great commercial routes were united by two canals across the state of Ohio, one in Indiana, one in Illinois, and one in Wisconsin. Aside from the Illinois and Michigan Canal, however, these did not prove of great importance as parts of such a continuous waterway, whatever their local im portance may have been. All the others were more seriously handicapped by a large lockage and a shortage of water supply than was the Illinois and Michigan Canal. As a consequence they more readily lost their importance as parts of a larger system and gradually fell into disuse even as local trade routes. The route of the Illinois and Michigan Canal is the only one that is practicable for a connecting waterway that would be at all adequate for the needs of present day commerce, to say nothing of the probable needs of the future. No one now seriously pro poses any other route for the connecting link in the proposed great waterway system.
