How did the work of samuel morse advance in photography combine to turn the civil war into a modern war

The Civil War was considered to be the first modern war. During the Civil War years, there was a quick improvement in technology and Samuel Morse was known for the most significant invention of that time: the telegraph. Both the advances in photography and the creation of the telegraph helped to turn the civil war into a modern war: while photographers were able to cover the war events and show the people home the reality, telegraphs were used for military purposes in order to report and receive communication.

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)

warfare was the primary means of cultural transmission in both regions.
