1831-1870 (Britain Keeps America)

Growth in North America
Following the end of the Toledo War, conflicts with the British came to a close, and American industries began to grow. Treaties between Pennsylvania and Piedmont ensured trade, with agricultural products from Virginian factories being traded for industrial products from the factories in Pittsburgh. New York and New England, though still somewhat angry toward each other, had also implemented trade treaties. Despite losing Toledo, Michigan had taken control over the Upper Peninsula and became rich from the iron, copper, and timber found there.

In Britain's Louisiana Colony, the British North America Company began to map out the vast new territories. Trading with native tribes and the Canadian and Mexican colonies had ensured Louisiana's success. Daniel Boone, in one of his last great frontier exploits in 1810, had mapped out most of the northern Rocky Mountains, and established the city of Booneville. Booneville thrived from the gold and timber found there. Booneville became a rest spot for travellers crossing the Rocky Mountains for the new settlements along the Pacific.

Railroads, which were first placed in Piedmont, became widespread, and transportation became easier. The Erie Canal, built in New York, opened up in 1828. The Canal became an important link between trade from Upstate New York and New York City. The capital city of Albany became the center of population growth in upstate New York.
