Why would it be important for the telegraph wire to be linked across the country?

This question is a little hard to understand. I can only assume that you do not realise that this early form of long distance communication only worked through the wire. A message travelled as pulses of electric current, which needed the wire to carry it, unlike modern telecoms which use radio waves through the air. If the wire didn't go to a place, the only other way to send a message was for someone to deliver it. It's hard to imagine life without our instant communications, but they are a relatively modern thing. The telegraph was really the first step in tying people together no matter where they lived.
