Where and Why was the telegraph invented?

The first telegraph was invented in 1835 by a man who goes by Samuel Morris. He invented it in the Univsersity of New York, in New York.The reason why it was invented is because if you think of our daily life, how much do we text? How much to we call each other?

What role did the railroads and the telegraph have on the Civil War?

Railroads allowed armies to move long distances much more quickly than by marching, and the telegraph was a much faster means of communication than messengers on horseback. As a result, an army's operational radius was vastly increased. It was not perfect as the railroad and telegraph lines had to be built in advance, but it was still a great improvement for the day. Before World War 1, trucks and radios were in existence, but armies were still mostly dependent on telegraph (or telephone) for communications and railroads for transportation, and they would remain dependent on them until after World War 2. Railroads and telegraphs seem antequated today, but during the Civil War they were a major military advance.

Why do you suppose there is a gap of time between when a President is elected and when he is inaugurated?

200+ years ago, before the inventions of things like the internet, computers, television, telephone, telegraph, automobile, and locomotive, it took much longer to tabulate votes. Ballots were counted by hand, and results had to be delivered by people on horseback or in wagons. That's why Inauguration Day used to be in March. With advances in transportation and communication, it later became possible to calculate voting results much faster, and Inauguration was moved up to January.

How was the civil war different from the past wars because of the railroads and telegraph?

Railroads meant faster transport for soldiers and supplies, and telegraphs meant faster communications, giving armies a mobility and coordination never known in previous wars, and enabling them to cover much larger areas of ground. There were, of course, limitations. Railroad track and telegraph wires had to be put in place before they could be used, and where they did not exist they were of no use, but they did make the Civil War armies much more effective than would have been possible without these new inventions.
