4. How did immigrants play a role in the construction of the Erie Canal?

1. The Erie Canal provided a direct water route from New York City to the Midwest, triggering large-scale commercial and agricultural development—as well as immigration—to the sparsely populated frontiers of western New York, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and points farther west.

2. The Erie Canal helped to launch the consumer economy.

3. The canal opened a week early, and local farmers used their overhead sprinklers to spray down their crops.

4.Over 3,000 Irish helped to build New York's Erie Canal, which had to be dug with shovels and horsepower, and thousands more worked on railroads, farms and in mines. In mill towns in New England, Irish provided low-cost labor at textile mills.
