as early as 1825, ramsey had proposed connecting knoxville with the atlantic coast via railroad, which would have given the region's farmers better access to markets in charleston. over the years, ramsey negotiated several hundred thousand dollars worth of bonds, which funded the first railroads built in the region. ramsey also championed improvements to the tennessee river that would give knoxville's river merchants year-round access to the mississippi river. in 1828, the first steamboat to reach knoxville, the "atlas", docked at mecklenburg, prompting ramsey to give a speech on the meaning of patriotism.
