    The telegraph was another of the enormously consequential technological advances of the 1815-50 period. Instant communication had massive impact on the Civil War & other events of the mid-19th century.https://twitter.com/AdamMossoff/status/1116326793697538049 …

        The Byzantines had an optical telegraph so they could respond to invasions in Anatolia.

        . And lack of instant communication had huge impact before "lightning line" (as it was called at time) was invented by Morse. One example: Battle of New Orleans in 1812 War fought after war formally ended. Andrew Jackson first propelled to national fame for winning that battle.
