The land telegraph was invented by Samuel F. B. Morse, in the 1830s I think. He built this thing that when a button was pushed at one place, it could cause a clacker to go clack at the other end of a wire many miles long. In order to send information over it, he invented a code of clacks for each letter of the alphabet ... which he modestly called Morse's Code. The message sent as the first public demonstration was "What hath god wrought".
Aside from his experimentation on the telegraph, Samuel Morse made money in his part time occupation of fine art. He was a success in this and each year he made money through the sale of his paintings.
Samuel Slater brought the factory system to America in 1789.

Samuel Morse invented Morse Code in 1836.
The telegraph was invented in 1837 by Samuel F. B. Morris. He spoke his first words through it in 1844. money wayy

The telegraph was invented by Samuel Morse in the 1830s. Morse developed the system of dots and dashes known as Morse code to transmit messages over long distances using electrical signals sent along telegraph wires. The first telegraph line in the United States was completed in 1844 between Washington D.C. and Baltimore.
Dr. David Alter invented the telegraph during the year of 1836, although Samuel Morse made several key developments in the invention.

There were several steps towards the invention of the telegraph.The non-electric telegraph was invented in 1794 by Claude Chappe. This system used semaphore, rather than electrical signals along a wire, as later telegraphs did.A simple form of electric telegraph using liquid and the concept of electrolysis was invented in 1809 by Samuel Soemmering of Bavaria. This was not a commercially viable product, but it showed how electrical signals could be transmitted.In 1825 William Sturgeon invented the electromagnet, which would later play a big part in the transmission of signals via telegraphs.In 1830, Joseph Henry used Sturgeon's concept of the electromagnet to send communication signals along a wire.The electric telegraph itself, which came to be the mainstay of 19th century communications, was investigated and improved upon from around 1835 by Samuel F B Morse. In 1843, the first experimental telegraph line from Washington to Baltimore was constructed, using Morse's concepts.In 1893, the wireless telegraph was invented by Guglielmo Marconi.
Samuel Morse died on April 2,1872. He was 80 years old.
