Most of us associate the name John Hancock with giving your signature, but in truth, the name John Hancock means much more to the founding and directing of this country. John Hancock was born to (Rev) John Hancock and Mary Hawk on January 12, 1737. After the death of his father, he was taken in by his wealthy businessman uncle. He had been sent to his uncle by his mother to attend Boston Latin School. His uncle paid for him to go to Harvard College and later made him a partner in his shipping business. When his uncle died, he was made the head of the company and became one of the wealthiest men in Boston.

The telegraph was the first major advancement in communication technology. In 1838, Samuel Morse perfected and demonstrated the first telegraph machine. His machine used Morse code to send electronic currents along a wire, allowing the first high speed long distance communications. By the 1850s, the telegraph was widespread. In 1861, Western Union installed the first trans-continental line and by 1866, the first trans-Atlantic line was completed. At this time, telegraphs were all keyed by hand and transcribed from Morse code to English by ear. Fredrick Creed invented a way to convert Morse code into text in what became known as the Creed Telegraph System. That was in 1900, and by 1914, these automatic transmissions handled twice what a

Have you ever heard of the American Revolutionary War? The Revolutionary War started in the colonies after the Sugar Act (1764), the Stamp Act (1765), the Townshend Acts (1767) and the Tea Act (1773). The revolutionary war started because the colonies were tired of being taxed by the British Government. The colonists were not being represented in Parliament so they told the British Government that they were being taxed without being represented, (“no taxation without representation”), which the colonists did not like.

In 1994, 5 year old Eric Morse fell 14 stories from being thrown by two boys, Johnny and Tyrone. The two boys were 10 and 11, and they threw Eric out of an apartment window because he would not steal a piece of candy. Eric Morse, at five years of age, knew right from wrong. This shows that at age 10 and 11, as Johnny and Tyrone were, that they must have known what was right. They knew that what they were doing was wrong, therefore Johnny and Tyrone are to blame for the death of Eric Morse.

The inventor that I chose for this project is Samuel Morse, born April 27, 1791, who invented the electric telegraph in 1835 with the help and inspirations of others such as Alfred Vail.

Jonathan Winthrop was elected governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony even before they set sail to New England. He along with a thousand of his fellow Puritans set sail and Winthrop had a twist to the normal way things were done. He actually had the Massachusetts Bay Colony with him.

Thomas Beck and all of Long Beach had been plagued by a local nuisance known as Lew-Is-the-Light for several years. When Tarrytown on the Pike burned, Lew-Is was on the street early the next morning peddling his little letters saying the fire was a judgment from the Lord because Lew-Is had not been paid his rightful tithes.

The Worlds Exposition, designed under Daniel Burnham was intended to prove that the United states was just as cultured as Paris as well as proving to America that Chicago wasn’t the “Pig-slaughtering country town” they were known to be, and provided jobs during the failing economy so people could provide for their families. It also brought a countless amount of people, many of which were pretty, independent young women looking to find their own way in the changing times. The fair not only brought good, though, for it enticed an attractive young serial killer named H. H. Holmes who loved how easy it was to disappear into the bustling city. During the time of the fair he murdered 27-200 people, mostly women, in his “murder hotel” which was right
