Invention #2

Morse Code

At a time when mail was too slow, and there was no such thing as a telephone, the telegraph came in very handy. There was one problem though, just about every state had a different language. How are you to conduct a large business if you cant even communicate with anyone across the state border? Samuel F. B. Morse had just the solution. In 1836 he took it upon himself to unite the country under one language, Morse Code. Revolutionizing the world because people could now understand the messages they received and who knows how many messages if not delivered would have changed this country forever.
