Here’s the correct matching of the items:

  1. connected Charleston and Hamburg - South Carolina Railroad
  2. connected Albany and Schenectady - Mohawk and Hudson Railroad
  3. Tom Thumb - Engine built by Peter Cooper in 1830
  4. governor of New York who built the Erie Canal - DeWitt Clinton
  5. made New York City a leading port - Erie Canal
  6. connected Philadelphia and Pittsburgh - Pennsylvania canals
  7. completed in 1834 - Erie Canal

It seems that the Erie Canal is mentioned in both 5 and 7, but for clarity, I've matched it with both as appropriate.
