Answer:

The telegraph was used to communicate the exact time of nailing the final stake to the East and West Coast              

Explanation:

With the aid of the telegraph developed by Samuel Morse in the 1840s, messages on the exact time of pounding in the final stake to the railway line was transmitted to the East and West Coasts simultaneously which made the sounding of the bells at the same time possible. The telegraph as at then was the fastest means of sending messages across long distances and it worked by transmitting electrical signals over laid down wires from station to station, and by 1866, a telegraph line connected America to far away Britain

What was President Roosevelt's position on the role of African Americans in the CCC?
nignag [31]
 <span>The program’s goal was to conserve the country’s natural resources while providing jobs for young men. </span>African American men played a major role in the CCC in North Carolina. These men built truck trails and roads in the Nantahala National Forest, helping to provide easy access to the Great Smoky Mountains. They constructed telephone lines. They removed dead trees to prevent forest fires. Workers put out forest fires, too, saving timber, property, and possibly even lives. They lessened soil erosion by laying topsoil to prevent land- and mudslides, by landscaping, and by planting trees and shrubs. This work benefited forestland and agricultural areas across North Carolina.
