Answered by Ms. Sue
Not.

All of the history texts I've known have spent a lot of pages talking about one of those answers.

heres what my book says: during the 1860s and 1870s, cattle ranching boomed. The destruction of the buffalo and removal of Native Americans to reservations emptied the land for grazing cattle. The open plains offered a rancher limitless pasture that was free for the taking.."


Answered by Ms. Sue
Doesn't your text say anything about the railroads? With the completion of the railroads through the west, the ranchers were able to get the beef to markets in the east.

None of the possible answers are included in the passage from your book.
