The correct response regarding how the Indian Removal Act of 1830 went against the Worcester v. Georgia ruling is:

It ignored the fact that Native American lands were sovereign and not technically part of the United States.

The Worcester v. Georgia (1832) ruling established that individual states did not have the authority to impose regulations on Native American lands, recognizing their sovereignty. The Indian Removal Act contradicted this principle by facilitating the forced removal of Native Americans from their lands.

New York Canals
The completion of the Erie Canal spurred the first great westward movement of American settlers, gave access to the rich land and resources west of the Appalachians and made New York the preeminent commercial city in the United States.

The effect of the Canal was both immediate and dramatic, and settlers poured west. The explosion of trade prophesied by Governor Clinton began, spurred by freight rates from Buffalo to New York of $10 per ton by Canal, compared with $100 per ton by road. In 1829, there were 3,640 bushels of wheat transported down the Canal from Buffalo. By 1837 this figure had increased to 500,000 bushels; four years later it reached one million. In nine years, Canal tolls more than recouped the entire cost of construction.

Within 15 years of the Canal's opening, New York was the busiest port in America, moving tonnages greater than Boston, Baltimore and New Orleans combined.

Steamboats
Before the 1800s, most boats were powered by oars, sails, or moving water. When those power sources were unavailable, boats could not travel. But beginning in 1807, Robert Fulton built the first successful business around the

steamboat, which used a different kind of power.

Most steamboats worked in this way:

A wood or coal fire was used to heat water in a tank called a boiler.

The water expanded, boiled, and turned to steam, creating pressure inside the boiler.

A hole in the boiler was opened, and steam rushed out, turning one or more paddlewheels.

The paddlewheels propelled the boat through the water, even against currents and winds.
