Document Summary
Invention patented by samuel morse in 1837 that used electricity to send coded messages over wires, making communication nearly instantaneous. A system of manufacturing goods, built around apprenticeship, that defined the preindustrial economy. The apprentice learned a trade under the guidance of an artisan who often housed, clothed, and fed the apprentice. The 1829 north carolina supreme court case that involved a white man"s assault on a slave. The case asserted that the domination of the master over the slave was complete. The staunchly antislavery, anti-annexation party was short-lived, but captured 62,000 votes, a small number but enough to effectively rob henry clay of electoral victories in new york and michigan thereby handing polk the presidency in 1844. A component of the compromise of 1850 that increased the federal government"s obligation to capture and return escaped slaves to their owners.
