The solar system includes moons (and some of those moons have moons), supernova explosions, comets, meteors, asteroids, and plain old space dust. To be sure, there are more objects in our solar system, some of which have yet to be discovered.
The canal was not complete in 1825, however. Many years after opening, people decided the canal needed to be a bit wider and larger. People wanted to connect more waterways to the Erie Canal in order to get full use out of the canal system. So, between 1836 and 1862 the Erie Canal was made wider and was connected to other canals.
The Erie Canal created an immense growth in the population of New York and many of its important cities; it revolutionized an entire countryâs economy, noting that things had already been set in motion by the War of 1812; it forced a collision and interaction between Irish immigrants and devout families; and it empowered and divided the North and South, forcing an eventual confrontation of tensions.
