What was the significance of the cattle drives from Texas to Missouri in the late 1860s?

History
1 answer:
Ganezh [65]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Rail communication between Texas and the rest of the United States was insufficient during most of the 18th century. Texan ranchers needed to take their livestock to a place where it could be distributed and sold to the rest of the country.

The best place was Saint Louis, Missouri, because the city became the port of entry to the American West, and connected the West with the East with rail lines.

Texan ranchers therefore hired cowboys to transport the cattle from Texas to Missouri in a long, dangerous journey. The cattle could get stolen in the way, or it could become stray. Thus, the job of the cowboy was a very difficult and important one.

What did the native Americans do to keep more of their land?
Pachacha [2.7K]
I'm guessing that they fought against forces, like the people trying to steal land so they could have enough space to live, farm, and hunt.
I also think that the Native American could have traded or given valuable items to the people who were trying to take their land in exchange for the Natives to keep their land.
