Which modes of transportation were used by people to move west in the early 1800s? Select all that apply.
a. wagons
b. airplanes
c. steamboats
d. flatboats
Answer (1)
The answer is a, c, and d.People moved west using wagons, steamboats, and flatboats. Settlers often traveled in wagon trains over land, while steamboats and flatboats helped move goods and people along rivers. Airplanes didn’t exist in the early 1800s, so they were never used for westward travel. These methods made long journeys and settling new lands much easier.
