Steamboats, using technology such as by <a href="/wiki/Robert_Fulton" title="Robert Fulton">Robert Fulton</a>, came to dominate travel on the bay during the following decades. The Eagle, built in Philadelphia in 1813, transported travelers between <a href="/wiki/Baltimore" title="Baltimore">Baltimore</a> and <a href="/wiki/Elkton,_Maryland" title="Elkton, Maryland">Elkton</a>, where they connected with stagecoaches to travel to Wilmington, Philadelphia and other points north. An 1802 attempt to build a canal to connect the Elk River to <a href="/wiki/Christiana,_Delaware" title="Christiana, Delaware">Christiana, Delaware</a> (connecting the Chesapeake and Delaware watersheds) failed within two years. However, between 1824 and 1829, with financial support from the states of Maryland, <a href="/wiki/Delaware" title="Delaware">Delaware</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Pennsylvania" title="Pennsylvania">Pennsylvania</a>, over 2600 workers built the 14 miles long <a href="/wiki/Chesapeake_and_Delaware_Canal" class="mw-redirect" title="Chesapeake and Delaware Canal">Chesapeake and Delaware Canal</a>, which became for a while the busiest canal in the new nation. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers still operates it today, and <a href="/wiki/Chesapeake_City,_Maryland" title="Chesapeake City, Maryland">Chesapeake City, Maryland</a>, which had been Bohemia Manor until 1839, has a museum explaining the canal's importance. Railroads and bridges also proved economically important to Cecil County and surrounding region. The <a href="/wiki/New_Castle_and_Frenchtown_Turnpike_and_Railroad_Company" title="New Castle and Frenchtown Turnpike and Railroad Company">New Castle and Frenchtown Railroad</a> began service in 1831. Railroads crisscrossed Cecil county within three decades, although they ultimately greatly reduced its importance as a trading center. Cities such as Philadelphia and Baltimore could achieve economies of scale impossible for the county's small Chesapeake ports. Even the railroad's Frenchtown section was abandoned in 1859, and the port became a ghost town, though other sections remain in use, operated by the <a href="/wiki/Norfolk_Southern_Railway" title="Norfolk Southern Railway">Norfolk Southern Railway</a>. </p><p>During the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">American Civil War</a>, <a href="/wiki/Perryville,_Maryland" title="Perryville, Maryland">Perryville, Maryland</a> became an important staging ground for Union troops. It had been the halfway point of the railroad line between Wilmington and Baltimore, but damage to the section into Baltimore caused Union troops to embark ferries at Perryville. No Civil War battles occurred in Cecil County, but residents had strongly divided loyalties. Slavery had declined from 3,400 slaves in the county in 1790 to just 800 in 1850. The Underground Railroad had crossed through Cecil County, perhaps assisted by the 'Fighting Quaker,' former Congressman and U.S. Marshall <a href="/wiki/John_Conard" title="John Conard">John Conard</a>, who moved to North East between 1834 and 1851 and was reburied at St. Mary Anne's Episcopal Church there after his death in Philadelphia in 1857. <a href="/wiki/Frederick_Douglass" title="Frederick Douglass">Frederick Douglass</a> crossed Cecil County on his road to freedom in 1838. While <a href="/wiki/Jacob_Tome" title="Jacob Tome">Jacob Tome</a> made his fortune in the area and stayed, other Cecil County natives left in search of economic opportunity. <a href="/wiki/David_Davis_(Supreme_Court_justice)" title="David Davis (Supreme Court justice)">David Davis</a> moved to Illinois upon graduating from Yale Law School in 1835, where he became <a href="/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln" title="Abraham Lincoln">Abraham Lincoln</a>'s law partner and later served in that legislature as well as a judge, before moving to Washington D.C. to help President Lincoln, who later named him to the United States Supreme Court. Slavery's abolition affected many local property owners, as well as their slaves. After the war, Perryville again became a railroad town, and later received business from interstate highway travelers crossing the Susquehanna bridges. Although Cecil County had once been one of the wealthiest in Maryland and has worked hard recently to attract industry as well as tourist dollars, the average income of residents is now near that of <a href="/wiki/Maryland_locations_by_per_capita_income" class="mw-redirect" title="Maryland locations by per capita income">Americans as a whole</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="20th_and_21st_centuries">20th and 21st centuries</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cecil_County,_Maryland&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: 20th and 21st centuries"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>From the start, Cecil County's future was shaped by its strategic location between the growing cities of Baltimore, Philadelphia, <a href="/wiki/Washington,_D.C." title="Washington, D.C.">Washington, D.C.</a>, and <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a>. In the 20th century, as modern highways arrived its placement along the heavily traveled northeast corridor brought new opportunities and change to the county. By June 1941, the final segment of the Philadelphia Road, the new dual highway designated as Route 40 was completed across the center of Cecil County. In 1943, the dual highway was dedicated as the Pulaski Highway, to honor the Polish patriot and friend of Revolutionary American, according to <i><a href="/wiki/The_Baltimore_Sun" title="The Baltimore Sun">The Baltimore Sun</a></i>. Soon new motels, restaurants, and gas stations started sprouting up along what was once rural fields and woods.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On November 14, 1963, President <a href="/wiki/John_F._Kennedy" title="John F.
