SAY THE CORRECT ANSWER AND EXPLAIN WHY, DON'T GUESS

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Large ranchers wanted to drive the small ranchers out. The Johnson County War was a conflict between large ranchers and small ranchers in Wyoming in the late 19th century. The large ranchers wanted to drive the small ranchers out of the area, and they hired a group of gunmen to do so. This led to a series of violent confrontations between the two sides.
