Mail Services

Mail services first began with the Colonial Americans asking all kind of people to bring their letters for them. Since this was the begining of something new one can only imagine how messy it was, until the mail drop was made to organize the chaos of sending and recieving letters. In 1707 the British government began running the North American postal services and had a plan to improve the future of mail. They began planning routes and placing milestones, which were placed on major roads, and ended up cutting the time in half for mail to arrive in Philadelphia from New York.
