Joseph Henry was a researcher in the field of electricity whose work inspired many inventors. Joseph Henry's first discovery was that the power of a magnet could be immensely strengthened by winding it with insulated wire. He was the first person to make a magnet that could lift 3,500 pounds of weight. Joseph Henry showed the difference between "quantity" magnets composed of short lengths of wire connected in parallel and excited by a few large cells, and "intensity" magnets wound with a single long

While at Howard University, Joseph studied medicine with aspirations of becoming a doctor. After graduating in 1944 and realizing he

However, it was Samuel Morse that would go down in history for bettering Joseph Henry's invention. Samuel made sketches of a "magnetized magnet" based on Henry's work. He then went on to invent a telegraph system that was a practical and commercial success. Samuel Morse While he was a professor of arts and design at

Introduction The 19th century developments of firstly the telegraph, and later the telephone, opened a gateway to a new, closer, more interdependent world. For a country as large as the United States, with a population now scattered from east to west, the implications were tremendous. The infamous tyranny of time and distance had been conquered. Widespread acceptance and appreciation, however, were not immediate. Both inventions met with initial scepticism, ridicule, and even elements of fear.

Samuel F. B. Morse was one of the greatest inventors of the 19th century; he was the invention of the singled-wire telegraph machine that influenced the Industrial Revolution in America and the Morse code led way to many future innovations. Samuel Morse was not just an inventor; he was also a painter that did works such as The Chapel of the Virgin at Subiaco and The Gallery of the Louvre 1831 – 1833 to portraits of famous politicians such as John Adams. Samuel F. B. Morse was born in Charleston

shed light on the narrative Indigenous people have played in America and still fall into. The imagery used to depict Indigenous people are often romanticized by artist. Joseph Henry Sharp was a prominent painter of Native American people, most notable for his work with the Taos Pueblo Indians in New Mexico. Although Joseph Henry Sharp wished to depict what he and his contemporaries saw as a vanishing race, his work lacks cultural understanding and world perspective. His work often applies the pan-Indian

In 1836 Samuel F. B. Morse, Joseph Henry and Alfred Vail created a electrical telegraph. Which is a device that sends electrical currents over long distances through wires, when received on the other end it could either be shown by a light flashing or heard by a clicking sound. One year after Samuel released the telegraph Charles Wheatstone and William Cooke released an improved version of the electrical telegraph. They invented this so that people were able to send information over long distances
