Explanation:

What was NOT a result of the construction of the canal from Lake Erie to the Hudson River is "Federal financing became more readily available."

This is because the construction of the canal from Lake Erie to the Hudson River was done between 1817 and 1825, and was majorly carried out by raw manpower provided by Irishmen using basic equipment with very little pay to show for their hard work.

Hence, it provided employment opportunities for people particularly immigrants such as Irish, and also the construction of houses grew along the canal routes due to an increase in population in the area.

Also, it reduced the cost of transportation of goods.

However, it does not lead to the availability of Federal financing.
