The officers may have been allowed so as to make the fort a better settlement and let them live there longer.
Explanation:
Fort Union had always been fairly busy and it required a lot of food supplies due to the amount of the refugees coming in at all times.
This could help the pockets of the officers who could just now have farms there and use their own produce to turn them profits and have readily available sources of food for the migrants landing there.
This allowed them to have a rather stable stay at their post as they would in this time.
Women have longer life expectancy than men because it is biologically supported. <u>Firstly, women engage less in behaviors that are bad for health than men</u> such as excess smoking and drinking. In addition to that, <u>women currently better profit from advanced health care and better living conditions</u> such as regular medical check-ups.
Moreover, from the genetics perspective, when mutation occurs of one gene of the X chromosome, <u>women have another X chromosome for compensation which increases their resistance to biological aging</u>. Lastly, men participate in activities/works especially those that <u>utilize more muscles and energy that result into their worn out state faster than compared to women .</u>
