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: In 1673, Louis Jolliet and Fr. Jacques Marquette were the first Europeans to explore the Mississippi and the Illinois River Valleys. Their explorations took them through what is now northern Illinois. These early explorers of the region recognized the importance of a connection between Lake Michigan and the Illinois waterways. Constructed between 1836 and 1848, the Illinois and Michigan (I&M) Canal began the final link in a national plan to connect different regions of the North American continent via natural and man-made waterways. Once completed in 1848, the nearly 100-mile-long canal created a new transportation corridor that linked the Eastern United States, the Great Lakes, the Mississippi River, and the Gulf of Mexico. During the 19th century, the I&M Canal helped launch Chicago on its path to urban greatness and fostered the growth of a dozen towns along its banks that would soon industrialize the region. This book will open the reader to the unique flavor of the region and the towns and communities along its route, as well as the nature of commerce and water transportation of the 19th and 20th centuries.
