Why did Morse invent the telegraph?

Up to the 1800's the only way that people could communicate with other people over long distances was to physically carry it: either by walking or by using horses, ships, etc. So news traveled very slowly.

It was the discovery of electricity which gave Samuel Morse the idea of inventing the telegraph because he wanted to make long-distance communication faster.
