Problem: Farmers had to harvest wheat had to do so by hand using a sickle. Doing this by
hand took a long time, and farmers would typically only grew enough wheat to feed their own
families. (Wheat is used to make flour, which is used to make bread.) They were not making
enough to sell to others to make money.
Solution: Mechanical Reaper
Inventor: Cyrus McCormick
Impact:
Allowed more families to move west.
Problem: Communication and information (through letters, etc.) took a long time to get from
one place to another. Sometimes weeks or even months would go by before two people living
on either side of the country would be able to receive a response from the other person or
alert them to important news.
Solution: Telegraph
Inventor:
Impact:
Samuel Morse

the country and the world.

Inventor: Eli Whitney
Impact:
Demand for slaves increased
Problem: Going up river was very difficult. You had to fight against the moving current of
water flowing against your boat all the time. Pushing a boat up river was a very slow and
difficult process. As America expanded westward, rivers became a very important route for
transportation, so this became an even bigger problem.
Solution: Steam Boat
Inventor: Robert Fulton
Impact:
Shipping stuff was faster and
easier.
Problem: As people started moving across the country, the only options were stagecoaches,
Conestoga wagons, horses, or feet. The main challenge facing the western settlers was getting
products and supplies to and from the East. Taking them by foot or carriage took a long time
and it could be very dangerous.
Solution: Steam Locomotive
Inventor: James Watt
Impact:
connected the east and west
together with railroads
