Samuel Morse was born on April 27, 1791, in Massachusetts, which was then a part of the British colony.

He became a successful painter, and then he turned his attention to developing the telegraph and Morse Code.

Together with his colleague, Morse created a system of dots and dashes that represented the letters of the alphabet.

Morse demonstrated the system for the first time in 1844 when he sent a message over a distance of 60 km.

The development of the telegraph and Morse Code revolutionized communication. With these tools, it was possible to send messages quickly over long distances.
