Of course you’ll be clear-minded as you watch everyone you love die, and as you watch the sun that makes this planet inhabitable swell as it ages, consuming the planet and you in fiery torment from which you can’t escape.

So…good times

Morse- Invented the telegraph,hence Morse Code

Whitney- Cotton gin,would have tanked the South's economy if they hadn't done it with the war

Fulton-No idea

Lincoln-President

Penn-No idea

Howe-No idea
