Which effects did the invention of the steamboat have? Select all that apply. A. increased travel westward. B. slowed relocation of Native Americans. C. expanded rights for African Americans. D. allowed cheap movement of goods.

Answer 1

The effects of the invention of the steamboat include:

A. increased travel westward.
D. allowed cheap movement of goods.

The steamboat significantly improved transportation on rivers and facilitated trade and westward expansion. While it may have contributed to changes in the movement of Native Americans, it did not necessarily slow their relocation (B). As for the expansion of rights for African Americans (C), the steamboat itself did not have a direct effect on that issue.
