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.

Which of these qffers the BEST explanation regarding the effects of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896)?
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Segregated facilities were allowed to exist in states that chose to have them.

Explanation:

Following the decision in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) segregated facilities were allowed to exist in states that chose to have them. It upheld the "separate but equal" doctrine that would remain in effect for the next half-century. Although the 15th Amendment stated that the right to vote would "not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude," the Plessy case- dealing with segregation of facilities- was not directly related to the issue of voting.
