Among the many modern marvels that gave the North an advantage was the telegraph, which Lincoln used to stay connected to the forces in the field in almost real time. Watching Lincoln carefully word his messages?and follow up on those words with the right actions?offers a striking example for those who spend their days tapping out notes on computers and BlackBerrys.
