The early explorers in North America founded settlements and named them after places or people from their home country. They oft

en added the word new to the town or city name from their home country. This is why we have place names such as New Hampshire and New England in North America. The places they are named after tell you where in Europe the explorers came from. For example, British settlers named the state of New Hampshire after the English county called Hampshire. Spanish explorers named many settlements after Catholic saints. For example, San Francisco was named after Saint Francis of Assisi, a twelfth-century Catholic priest.
Make a list of places (states, regions, or towns) whose names show similar connections. Make sure you find at least three to four places that show a connection to each of the three nations—Spain, France, and England.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The three or four places with this kind of connection are the following.

England.

Manchester, New Hampshire, in the US.

London, Ontario, in Canada.

Rochester, New York, in the US.

France.

Paris. Idaho, in the US.

Lafayette, Indiana, in the US.

Creve Coeur, Missouri, in the US.

Spain.

Santa Ana, California.

Guadalajara, Jalisco, in México.

San Bernardino, California.

European explorers used to name locations in North America and South America, as a way to honor their kings and places in their native nations, This was made by the English, the French, and the Spaniards. These names still exist today as people become familiar with the names in their locations.

Experiments on communication with electricity, initially unsuccessful, started in about 1726. Scientists including Laplace, Ampère, and Gauss were involved.


An early experiment in electrical telegraphy was an 'electrochemical' telegraph created by the German physician, anatomist and inventor Samuel Thomas von Sömmerring in 1809, based on an earlier, less robust design of 1804 by Spanish polymath and scientist Francisco Salva Campillo.[8]Both their designs employed multiple wires (up to 35) in order to visually represent almost all Latin letters and numerals. Thus, messages could be conveyed electrically up to a few kilometers (in von Sömmerring's design), with each of the telegraph receiver's wires immersed in a separate glass tube of acid. An electric current was sequentially applied by the sender through the various wires representing each digit of a message; at the recipient's end the currents electrolysed the acid in the tubes in sequence, releasing streams of hydrogen bubbles next to each associated letter or numeral. The telegraph receiver's operator would visually observe the bubbles and could then record the transmitted message, albeit at a very low baud rate.[8] The principal disadvantage to the system was its prohibitive cost, due to having to manufacture and string-up the multiple wire circuits it employed, as opposed to the single wire (with ground return) used by later telegraphs.


The first working telegraph was built by Francis Ronalds in 1816 and used static electricity.[9]


Charles Wheatstone and William Fothergill Cooke patented a five-needle, six-wire system, which entered commercial use in 1838.[10] It used the deflection of needles to represent messages and started operating over twenty-one kilometres (thirteen miles) of the Great Western Railway on 9 April 1839. Both Wheatstone and Cooke viewed their device as "an improvement to the [existing] electromagnetic telegraph" not as a new device.


On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Samuel Morse developed a version of the electrical telegraph which he demonstrated on 2 September 1837. Alfred Vail saw this demonstration and joined Morse to develop the register—a telegraph terminal that integrated a logging device for recording messages to paper tape. This was demonstrated successfully over three miles (five kilometres) on 6 January 1838 and eventually over forty miles (sixty-four kilometres) between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore on 24 May 1844. The patented invention proved lucrative and by 1851 telegraph lines in the United States spanned over 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometres).[11] Morse's most important technical contribution to this telegraph was the simple and highly efficient Morse Code, co-developed with Vail, which was an important advance over Wheatstone's more complicated and expensive system, and required just two wires. The communications efficiency of the Morse Code preceded that of the Huffman code in digital communications by over 100 years, but Morse and Vail developed the code purely empirically, with shorter codes for more frequent letters.


The submarine cable across the English Channel, wire coated in gutta percha, was laid in 1851.[12] Transatlantic cables installed in 1857 and 1858 only operated for a few days or weeks (carried messages of greeting back and forth between James Buchanan and Queen Victoria) before they failed.[13] The project to lay a replacement line was delayed for five years by the American Civil War. The first successful transatlantic telegraph cable was completed on 27 July 1866, allowing transatlantic telecommunication for the first time.
