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.

vladimir2022 [97]
It changed into the empire.. first it became a republic because the Romans wants voice). freedom from the kings. so they created the roman republic(which gave them a voice). Then Julius Caesar stopped the roman republic. he became a sole ruler. When the politics killed him, his son Octavian( which he named himself Augustus), became in charge. Under Augustus rules, Rome became an empire Octavian was actually his nephew not his son, While Caesar did have a son with Cleopatra he died at a young age though I am not sure when. Caesar Implemented what he called "Bread and Circuses" Which basically meant "As long as you can keep people fed and entertained you can take away all of their freedoms." So while Caesar kept the people fed and held constant games in the Colusseum he <span>slowly began turning what was once a Republic into an Empire.</span>
