May I be a cynic here?
:There was no Federal funding, right? But there was funding from New York State, right? Could that be because Jefferson was Virginian and wanted to protect the Cumberland Gap which, at that time, was the easiest route for those moving west into the great beyond. And those in New York could see that the canal opened up an even greater beyond via the Great Lakes. Simple economics. Simple politics.
