What May be America's First Automobile was Built in 1804 by Oliver Evans who was commissioned by the Philadelphia Board of Health to build a steam engine to dredge the Schuylkill River and clean city docks. The scow he built measured 12 feet wide by 30 feet long and weighed 15 1/2 tons. He also produced a 5 horsepower engine which propelled the scow for 1 1/2 miles down Center Street before fascinated Philadelphians. Evans even wagered an onlooker $3,000 that he could build a steam-driven vehicle that would go faster than any horse. The scow's drive belt was shifted to paddle wheels and the vehicle steamed down the river against the wind, passing all sailboats.

Other Steamboats take to the Water. Fulton launched the his 150-foot paddle wheel long steamboat, the "Clermont" that traveled 150 miles up the Hudson River to Albany in 32 hours in 1807. This craft, designed by Robert Fulton, was driving by a Watt engine at a speed of five miles per hour. It is interesting to note that the first actual steamboat was invented by John Fitch which he demonstrated on the Delaware River during the 4th Quarter of the Low Physical Cycle, but the vessels lacked reliability and it would become Fulton, not Fitch, who received credit for the invention is the following 1st Quarter of a Physical High with an event that is now considered to be the launch of commercially successful steamboat navigation. In 1808 Stevens launched his 100-foot long steamboat, the "Phoenix" with a low-pressure steam engine. He made it the first sea-going steam vessel in 1809 by traveling from New York to Philadelphia.

Eli Terry and Seth Thomas of Connecticut Began the Manufacture of Clocks With Interchangeable Parts in 1807. They completed a three year contract and produced 4,000 clock movements as we reached the peak of the Physical Cycle in 1810.

The Cast-Iron Plow was invented by Jethro Wood, a farmer, in 1813 and patented the following year.

The 224-Foot Newburyport Bridge over the Merrimack River in Massachusetts became the most famous suspension bridge of 19th-century America after it was erected by John Templeman who held several patents on suspension bridge improvements. The world's first wire suspension bridge was built over the Schuylkill River near Philadelphia in 1816.

A Lathe for Making Irregularly Shaped Objects was invent 1818 Thomas Blanchard, Mass. inventor, designs a lathe for making irregularly shaped objects such as gun stocks.

The "Connecticut Wits" Satirized Liberal Views. These writers of the early 1800s were also known as the "Hartford Wits" because where they were centered in Connecticut. They were an informal group who set out to modernized the Curriculum at Yale with a more conservative view of the Federalists and they attacked the liberal position with satirical verse. Some members entered politics. Group members included, Joel Barlow, John Trumbull, Timothy Dwight, Theodore Dwight, and Lemuel Hopkins. Low times are historically more conservative, as opposed to High times which are liberal.

The "Salmagundi" Series of Whimsical and Satirical Essays began in 1807 and became very popular. These informal essays that were also known as the "Knickerbocker Movement" reflected the social, cultural and political life of New York life at the time. Writers included Washington Irving and James Kirke Paulding and the mood of the time was to lightly mock that which was more popular during the previous High.
