Answer 1

Answer:

The Santa Fe Trail was America’s first commercial highway. Traders established the trail—which connected Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico and covered some 900 miles of the Great Plains—in 1821. Before its demise due to the completion of the Santa Fe railroad, the Santa Fe Trail served as a thoroughfare for countless traders, pioneers and America’s military, and it played a crucial role in America’s westward expansion.

Answer 2

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: When traveling the Santa Fe Trail to New Mexico, travelers had a choice between a more direct route across harsh and dry lands and a more indirect route that wound through the Rockies. Settlers who took the Mountain Route had to travel more than 800 miles on a path that often climbed steep hills and grades. If they wanted to take a shorter route through today’s Cimarron County, they were more likely to be attacked by tribes that lived in the region. They also faced very long stretches without water.
