were these two inventions?

Native Americans that was led by Sitting Bull

  1. The two inventions that significantly impacted life on the plains in the United States were the steel plow and the barbed wire. The steel plow, invented by John Deere in the 1830s, made it easier to till the tough sod of the Great Plains, facilitating agriculture in that region. Barbed wire, invented by Joseph Farwell Glidden in the 1870s, revolutionized fencing for ranchers, allowing them to effectively manage cattle and protect their crops in the vast open plains.

  2. The crucial battle and victory for Native Americans that was led by Sitting Bull was the Battle of the Little Bighorn, also known as Custer's Last Stand, which took place on June 25-26, 1876. This battle was a significant victory for Native American forces against the U.S. Army.
