In 1839, Massachusetts was shifting from sea trade toward manufacturing and rail. Water-powered textile mills along the Merrimack at Lowell drew many young women from farm families across New England to their looms, and the Boston and Worcester line, finished in 1840, was carrying freight and passengers inland. New Bedford remained one of the country's leading whaling ports, sending ships to distant oceans, while cranberry growers on Cape Cod had begun cultivating bogs in the sandy hollows of the lower towns. The Panic of 1837 had left merchants and mill owners cautious about credit.
