I. New transportation systems and technologies dramatically expanded manufacturing and agricultural production.

II. The changes caused by the market revolution had significant effects on U.S. society, workers' lives, and gender and family relations.

III. Economic development shaped settlement and trade patterns, helping to unify the nation while also encouraging the growth of different regions.
