Communication has always been a part of American culture; it has been the most crucial part of people’s social life. Over time, the means of communication has changed according to the times, people’s living situations and advancements in technology. In the past, people used smoke signals as a form of communication; however, smoke signals could only send a few simple messages. As America changed and the population grow people needed to send longer messages as well as sending them further in distance. Therefore, people replaced smoke signals for letter writing. People wrote letters to communicate with friends and family separated by distance because it was the only way to communicate long distance, at least until the invention of the telegraph in the 19th century. The telegraph was invented by a man named Samuel Morse, hence “Morse Code.”
Samuel Morse was an artist and inventor, he developed the first successful electromagnetic telegraph system. He studied both art and electricity at Yale College, after graduation he pursued a career in art. Samuel traveled to England to continue studying art, on his voyage he overheard two men talking about electromagnets. One of those men was Charles Jackson who also studied electricity he told Morse that electric impulse could be carried through long wires.
