Telegraph Infrastructure in the United States
Telegraph lines in Ohio and South Carolina in 1853
Technology played an important role in the North's victory in the War Between the States.

In 1853, densely populated Ohio was criss-crossed with telegraph lines while lightly populated South Carolina had few lines.
