It worked by transmitting electrical signals over a wire laid between stations. In addition to helping invent the telegraph, Samuel Morse developed a code (bearing his name) that assigned a set of dots and dashes to each letter of the English alphabet and allowed for the simple transmission of complex messages across telegraph lines. On May 24, 1844, Morse sent his first telegraph message, from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, Maryland a distance of 38 miles, stating, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Californian FB',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; letter-spacing: .6pt;\"\u003e“What hath God wrought!” Suddenly, communication could occur from distance. \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Californian FB',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; letter-spacing: .6pt;\"\u003eBy 1866, a telegraph line had been laid across the Atlantic Ocean from the U.S. to Europe. Although the telegraph had fallen out of widespread use by the start of the 21st century, replaced by the telephone, it laid the groundwork for the communications revolution that led to those later innovations.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Californian FB',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003eThe electric telegraph transformed how wars were fought and won and how journalists and newspapers conducted business.
