Do you have inland waterways in your country
>>221287513>inland waterwaysyeah but we call them rivers, not that fancy name
>>221287513you niggas literally have natural highways running through half the country but instead prefer to use trucks and planes to transport almost everything
>>221287580that's because of an old maritime law that makes sailing in their rivers practically impossible with the globalized nature of shipping
>>221287580Shipping along the Mississippi contributed to its pollution Also it is a bit rough for travelAlso the North industrialized instead of relying on slaves so it's richer and raw materials don't really need to ship the way the river flows usually
>>221287580>but instead prefer to use trucks and planes to transport almost everythingWe use those for a lot of shipping and industry actually, something like 700 million tonnes are shipped through inland and freshwater routes annually
