Answer:

Because the information was carried by ships

Explanation:

President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865. At that time, there was no mass media and no information processing technology. Neither was there rapid transport, like the airplanes. The nineteenth-century press was basically composed of some printed newspapers, so that for an information to cross the ocean, it was necessary that it be transported in ships. The journeys took a long time, the fastest transport took at least a week, as was the case with the arrival of the news of Lincoln's death in England.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

No force caused the person to move to slide forward, instead, inertia is behind this slide.

Inertia is the tendency of the body to remain in a particular state i.e. either moving or at rest unless an external force is applied to it.

Nick steals two checks from Pauline—a blank check and a check payable to the order of Retail Outlets Company, drawn on Pauline’s
andrezito [222]

Answer:

State Bank will suffer the loss on the check with the forged signature, while United will suffer it on the check with the forged endorsement.

Explanation:

When the signature of a drawer is forged, the drawer has not been negligent, and the drawee bank paid the check with the forged signature, it is the drawee bank who has to bear the loss, as it has to recredit the account of the affected drawer. On the other hand, when talking about a check with a forged endorsement, it is the bank that paid the check who suffer the loss. It must recredit the drawer's account, while the drawee bank can actually ask to recover the amount from the bank that paid the check.

In this case, State Bank was the drawee bank for both checks, but it only has to recredit Pauline for the check with the forged signature. United is responsible for recrediting Pauline for the check with the forged endorsement, however, while State Bank can recover the amount from them. State Bank and United can try to recover their losses from Nick, but this can prove very difficult.
