Why was the television important in the Election of 1960?

it was important because, while most american citizens could afford a TV, they would watch the debates and this is what would make or break the election. This also has broadcasted many tragedies too, such as Kennedy or later on, 9/11.

the lachish letters were written by hoshaiah, a military officer stationed possibly in mareshah,   and sent to yaush, possibly the commanding officer at lachish.

the series of letters were written in carbon ink in ancient hebrew on clay ostraca, shortly before lachish fell to the babylonian army of king nebuchadnezzar in 588/6 bc during the reign of zedekiah, king of judah.
