Answer 2

a. Americans did not feel connected to the whole country.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the early nineteenth century there were no vehicles, so transactions were made in local commerce and people had no mobility alternatives other than horse carts. That way, not only in the US, but around the world, people lived disconnected from the rest of their country. In the US this changed over the course of the nineteenth century, with the development of railroads that served to transport cargo and people over long distances, connecting the country further.
