Although you didn't include any options t choose from, I found that the major benefits enjoyed in the mid-1800s by American cities that grew up along rivers are water power for mills and factories, transportation by steamboat, and drinking water. One major benefit they didn't enjoy however, was hydroelectric power.
A benefit that was not enjoyed by American cities built next to rivers in the mid-1800s was hydroelectric power.
Why was hydroelectric power not enjoyed?
- Electricity had not be practically used yet.
- The technology needed to generate hydroelectric power was not yet invented.
As a result, these cities were only able to enjoy other benefits such as transportation of goods and services, and access to drinking water.
In conclusion, they did not enjoy hydroelectricity.
