The newspapers have been reporting the completion of the great canal, the Erie Canal connecting the Great Lakes to the Hudson River and then in essence to the Atlantic Ocean.
Personally this story has no relevance to me, and quite frankly it makes me bitter to see the government continually spending their money in the wrong places, addressing non existant problems. With it's completion, the canal will surely increase and improve trade, but in turn it will further tatoo slavery and the concept of it into our country's skin.
As a teacher, I must acknowledge the superb technological feat that is the canal. And the benefits of its creation appear to be endless, once again another engineering feat that has further connected our country.
