Correct Answer
D. The Conestoga WagonExplanation
During the Era of Good Feelings, the Conestoga Wagon was not a significant development in the transportation revolution.

The steamboat revolutionized river transportation, the railroad transformed land transportation, and the canal system greatly improved inland water transportation. The Conestoga Wagon, on the other hand, was a sturdy freight wagon used primarily for hauling goods over long distances, but it did not have the same level of impact or innovation as the other options.Rate this question:

- D.

During the 1830s, the Bank of the United States closed down. This closure was primarily due to the political opposition led by President Andrew Jackson, who believed that the bank had too much power and was undemocratic. Jackson vetoed the rechartering of the bank in 1832, and in 1833, he ordered the removal of federal funds from the bank. This led to a loss of public confidence in the bank, causing its eventual closure in 1836.
