The Telegraph was probably the most important form of communication during the Civil War. The first electric telegraph was made in 1835 by Samuel Morse. The electric telegraph sent electric signals through wires to the destination, and once the signal was sent, the other person had to read the message through dots and dashes - which was part of the Morse Code. As armies moved around, they set up signal towers so that they could send messages to different places.
