Cattle drives involved cowboys on horseback moving herds of cattle long distances to market. Cattle drives were at one time a major economic activity in the American West, particularly between the years 1866-1895, when 10 million cattle were herded from Texas to railheads in Kansas for shipments to stockyards in Chicago and points east. Drives usually took place in Texas on the Goodnight-Loving Trail (1866), Potter-Bacon trail (1883), Western trail (1874), Chisholm Trail (1867) and Shawnee Trail (1840)s

During the 19th and early 20th century, cattle drives were a major form of economic activity in the United States. This was mainly the case in the American West. Cattle ranches were common in the West, and this was the region most cattle came from. However, this is not where the cattle was consumed. Cattle ranchers travelled long distances to more populated places, including Chicago and eastern cities. The main reason for this was that demand was higher in more populated places. Moreover, supply of cattle was low in these regions. This allowed the ranchers to get the most money possible for their cattle.

People vote for candidates to represent them in the decision-making process in a/an
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

election

Explanation:

In a democracy, people vote to select/elect the ones to speak on their behalf and make decisions.  These representatives debate and adopt laws for example at municipal, state and federal levels.

Once the person you elected based on the promises made is in position, you can only hope they'll respect their word and do what they said they would.

If they don't do their job properly, they risk not being re-elected next time around.

How does the existence of a site like Cactus Hill demonstrate the challenges that archaeologists face when making theories
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Cactus Hill site has human remains that have been dated to around 20,000 years ago. Given its location in Virginia shows that human beings had reached America earlier than this. This contradicts the theory that postulates humans came to America from Siberia through the modern day Bring Strait. The theory asserts that at the end of the Ice age humans were able to cross to America through the Beringia land bridge and other means such as canoes and rafts around 10,000 years ago.
