William Becknell (1787 or 1788–30 April 1865) was a soldier, politician, and freight operator who is credited with opening the Santa Fe Trail in 1821.The Santa Fe Trail was a 19th-century transportation route through central North America that connected Independence, Missouri with Santa Fe, New Mexico. It served as a vital commercial highway until the introduction of the railroad to Santa Fe in 1880. But, William Becknell was often using long-established trails made by Native Americans and followed by Spanish and French colonial explorers and traders for years before his trip.French colonists in St. Louis had a monopoly on trade with Santa Fe granted by the Spanish rulers before the Louisiana Purchase by the United States. When Mexico achieved independence from Spain in 1821, it opened up trade to its territories; residents of Santa Fe were eager for more trade goods.In 1822 Becknell altered his route to Santa Fe in order to find a trail more suitable for wagon trains, and enable transport of more trade goods. Earlier travelers had ridden on horseback trailing packhorses. By 1825, he assisted a surveyor with the federal government in mapping the trail, to make it available for commercial and military use.

EleoNora [17]

Answer:Obviously refers to the July 1932 eviction from Washington DC of unarmed US war veteran protesters and their families some 7000-15000 people who had come to protest their unemployment/ homelessness/ starvation and the non payment of their WWI veteran pay to the US government during the Great Depression.

After some violence had broken out the night of July 28th (the Washington police chief was injured and 2 protesters killed by police). The then President (Herbert Hoover) sent in army troops led by General Douglas MacArthur. Against the orders of the President to act with 'restraint' MacArthur attacked the protesters at night with cavalry, sabers, rifle fire, machine guns, and tanks, killing/ wounding 100+, then burned their tents to the ground despite the efforts of the Washington police chief and officers to protect the unarmed crowd.
