Using an original dataset covering 575 counties over 262 years, we show that the canal's abandonment contributed to the social turmoil that engulfed North China in the nineteenth century. Counties along the canal experienced an additional 117 percent increase in rebelliousness after the canal's closure relative to their non-canal counterparts. Our findings highlight the important role that continued access to trade routes plays in reducing conflict. – Reproduced   aDisrupted trade, Social conflict, China936399  aThe American Economic Review    aSOCIAL CONFLICTS  cAR  00102ddc40709395239aIIPAbIIPAd2022-12-26h112(5), May, 2022: p.1555-1590pAR127741r2022-12-26yAR
