USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Developed in the 1830s and 1840s by Samuel Morse and other inventors, the telegraph revolutionized long-distance communication. It worked by transmitting electrical signals over a wire laid between stations.

Detailed explanation-2: -What did Samuel F.B. Morse invent? Samuel F.B. Morse developed an electric telegraph (1832–35) and then invented, with his friend Alfred Vail, the Morse Code (1838). The latter is a system for representing letters of the alphabet, numerals, and punctuation marks by arranging dots, dashes, and spaces.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Development of the Telegraph New York University professor Samuel Morse (pictured at left) began working on his version of the telegraph in 1832; he developed Morse Code (a set of sounds that corresponded to particular letters of the alphabet), in 1835; and by 1838 he had presented his concept to the U.S. Congress.

Detailed explanation-4: -Samuel Morse independently developed and patented a recording electric telegraph in 1837, which revolutionized long-distance communication by transmitting electrical signals over a wire laid between stations.

Detailed explanation-5: -What was the greatest change that Samuel F.B. Morse’s invention of the telegraph brought to communication? How did this invention change the nature of communication in nineteenth century America? The telegraph increased the speed of communication for both commerce and news.
