The best way to break the resistance of the Plains Indians was option B: By capturing and killing their horses. Horses were crucial to the way of life and survival for many Plains Indian tribes, as they relied on them for transportation, hunting, and warfare. Without horses, the Plains Indians would have been significantly weakened and more easily subdued by the US government and military.
