What part of the us saw industrialization grow because of the presence of rivers to power machines?

During the industrialization the U.S was able to use steam engines. New Orleans saw a 1000+ increase in boats within just 20 years. The Northeast however was the part of the U.S that saw industrialization grow because of the presence of rivers to power machines.

I hope this helps! :)

abraham lincoln, according to anyone who was connected with agriculture, represented the worst of northern politicians. shortly after lincoln was elected, south carolina seceded from the union. they along with other southern states, retained their anger. in a way, it was their own fault: the democrats were split in the south. some wanted slavery to be extended in other states that were about to join the union and some didn't want it badly enough. lincoln had a solid backing from his party: the republicans were united in not wanting slavery to be expanded.
