What was one advantage of the steamboat that robert fulton created?

Before the steamboats, man had only the power of muscles (whether his own muscles or the muscles of animals). He depended on these muscles in transportation. This made transportation a very long and tiring journey.

Steamboats' main advantage was providing faster transportation to both people and goods. This reduced the time and the effort needed for transportation.

However, they were not very safe or accurately designed. Many people died as a result of the explosion of the boilers.

Ifound this on google “simply, the working conditions were terrible during the industrial revolution. as factories were being built, businesses were in need of workers. with a long line of people willing to work, employers could set wages as low as they wanted because people were willing to do work as long as they got paid.” i hope this you for what your looking for.
