Question

People in the 1700s and the 1800s often wrote journals and letters.(the letter George Washington wrote after he became president is just one example.) why do you think this is true

Answer 1

Because there were no computers and stuff like that back then. But today, we use email.

Answer 2

People who lived in the 1700s and 1800s often wrote letters and journals. This is because their communication technology was not as developed as the one we have nowadays. Letters were the main method by which people communicated, as there were no telephones, computers, televisions, or any of the other ways in which we communicate nowadays.
