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.

<span>Sadie lacks object permanence. Object permanence means that objects still exist even when they cannot be viewed. It not unusual for Sadie to lack object permanence because it is not something infants possess.
