Summary: "Outline of the Development of the Internal Commerce of the United States" by T. W. Van Metre is a historical account published in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1910s. This book examines the evolution of internal commerce in the United States from the establishment of the Union in 1789 until 1900, focusing on the interconnectedness of agricultural and manufactured products across various regions. The text underscores how transportation advancements, such as canals and railroads, influenced economic development and the flow of goods within the country. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the stages of internal commerce in the U.S., splitting the discussion into significant periods. It details early transportation challenges, the influence of agriculture on trade dynamics post-Revolution, and the development of critical infrastructure like the Erie Canal and railroads. The narrative describes how internal trade shifted with changes in geographic, economic, and social factors, such as the rise of cotton production in the South and the influx of goods between the North and West. Overall, the text illustrates the complex interplay of various regional economies and the eventual establishment of a robust internal commerce system as the country expanded and industrialized.
