In colonial times, what would be the easiest way to get from new york to philadelphia?

Answer: Using a wheeled vehicle.

Explanation: People who were able to afford this type of transportation used carts and wagons to travel long distances. Depending on the cart's size, the vehicle were pulled by 4 - 6 horses.

n the eighteenth century, people traveled for many of the same reasons we travel today-business, pleasure, or to visit friends and family. Most eighteenth-century travelers were men from the middling and upper levels of society. Women and children traveled much less often than men did. Slaves often accompanied their masters. When a slave traveled alone, he carried a pass from his master showing that he had permission to travel. Without a pass, African-Americans could be arrested as runaways.
