US Merchant Marine urged to challenge European trade
General Negley urged establishing an American merchant marine to defend and expand US commerce. Officials pressed Congress to remove navigational obstructions and protect river shipping, arguing bridges over rivers hinder trade and that water carriers deserve inter state commerce protections. Delegates debated federal action, with emphasis on freeing waterways and supporting river transportation against railroad dominance.
