Ten Commandments of God
Exodus XX
1. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
3. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
4. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
5. You shall not kill.
6. You shalt not commit adultery.
7. You shalt not steal.

When was the pony express founded and by who?
The founders of the pony express were Micheal and Karson, This is my answer. The one below is Wikipedia, well not really I already knew. I dont kknow Micheal and Karsons last name. Ill edit if I figure out.
Michael and Karson were already in the freighting business with more than 4,000 men, 3,500 wagons and some 40,000 oxen in 1858. They held government contracts for delivering army supplies to the West frontier, and Russell had a similar idea for contracts with the US Government for fast mail delivery.
By having a short route and using mounted riders rather than traditional stagecoaches, their proposal was to establish a fast mail service between St. Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramento, California with letters delivered in 10 days, a duration many said was impossible. It was not exactly overnight, but perhaps overpriced for the time, at $5 a half-ounce. The founders of the Pony Express hoped to win an exclusive government mail contract, something that did not come about.
Alexander Majors
Russell, Majors and Waddell organized and put together the Pony Express in just two months in the winter of 1860. It was an undertaking of enormous proportions, with 120 riders, 184 stations, 400 horses and several hundred of personnel, all during January and February 1860.[3]
Alexander Majors was a religious man and resolved "by the help of God" to overcome all difficulties. He presented each rider with a Bible and required this oath:
Were was the Pony Express invented?
The Pony Express stabled their horses all along their route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to California. There was no point in stabling horses any significant distance from where they were needed.
The transportation timeline of the pony express?
The Pony Express was a mail service that operated from April 1860 to October 1861, facilitating rapid communication between the eastern United States and California. Riders would cover approximately 1,900 miles in about 10 days, using a relay system of stations where fresh horses were available. Despite its brief existence, the Pony Express became a symbol of speed and determination in American history, largely due to the challenges of the rugged terrain and the need for swift communication during the Gold Rush and the Civil War. It was ultimately replaced by the telegraph, which offered even faster communication.
Who was the founder of the Pony Express?
The Pony Express was started by William H. Russell, Alexander Majors, and William B. Waddell, who were all important men in the shipping and freight business.

Were there any females in the Pony Express?
Yes, there were females associated with the Pony Express, though they were not officially part of the rider ranks. Some women took on roles such as cooks, laundresses, and in other support capacities. One notable figure is Buffalo Bill's sister, who is said to have ridden the route disguised as a male rider. Overall, while female riders were rare, women played essential roles in supporting the operation.
Difficulty in expressing yourself can stem from various factors, such as fear of judgment, lack of confidence, or past experiences that stifled your voice. It may also be linked to not having the right words or feeling overwhelmed by emotions. Additionally, societal or cultural expectations can create pressure that hinders authentic self-expression. Seeking supportive environments and practicing self-reflection can help improve this ability over time.
