Inventions similar to fax have been in use since the 1850s, predating the telephone by more than a decade and were in use around the same time as the US Civil War.

What were the first fax machines called?
I looked this up and the nearest name I came up with was the "copying telegraph." The first fax was invented by Scottish inventor Alexander Bain in 1843.

Several years earlier Morse had made the first telegraph and the fax machine is from this technology. The early fax sent Morse Code over telegraph wires that was decoded into text. In 1850 a London inventor received a patent for the "copying telegraph." In 1860 a fax machine called the Pantelegraph sent the first fax between Paris and Lyon. In 1895 Ernest Hummel a watchmaker invented a competing device called the Telediagraph. Dr. Aurthur Korn in 1902 invented and improved the fax, the photoelectric fax. By 1926 RCA invented the Radiophoto that faxed using radio broadcasting technology, and on March 4, 1955 the first radio fax transmission was sent across the continent.
