- Synopsis
- On the morning of July 4, 1817, cannons boomed. The cannons, firing near Rome, New York, heralded the start of the construction on the Erie Canal. It was Independence Day, a proper day to begin a project designed to mold the country's future. The town of Rome was almost in the middle of the canal route. It was decided to start construction there and dig both east and west. Soil samples revealed that the digging would be easy near Rome.
