Question

Iowa pioneers most often obtained land from

speculators.

Answer 1

This answer is right because the pioneers who lived in Iowa mostly got their land from people who bought it first and then sold it to them, which are called speculators. So, like, they didn't just find the land empty and claim it for themselves. They had to buy it from someone already owning it.
