I haere a Morse i tana haerenga whakamutunga ki Washington, DC, i te Hakihea 1842, i te whakatakoto "nga waea i waenga i nga ruma komiti e rua i te Capitol, me te tuku karere ki muri ki muri" hei whakaatu i tana punaha waea. I whakawhiwhia e te Kaunihera $ 30,000 i te 1843 mo te hanganga o te raina waea 38-maira (61 km) i waenga o Washington, DC, me Baltimore i te taha o te tika o te Baltimore me Ohio Railroad. I puta tetahi whakaaturanga whakamiharo i te Mei 1, 1844, i te wa i tukuna ai te korero mo te whakaingoa a te Whig Party a Henry Clay mo te Perehitini o Amerika mai i te huihuinga a te roopu i Baltimore ki te Capitol Building i Washington. Patai: Kia pehea te roa o te whakaaetanga o te raina waea 1843 i rere i waenga o Washington DC me Baltimore?
E 38-maero te roa
