Do you agree with Thomas Jefferson’s belief that building the Erie Canal was “little short of madness” for the time? Why or why not?

Yes.

Because there are some quotes about this situation and how Thomas Jefferson talk about this being a “little short of madness”. So even him can recognize that this was a little short of madness.
