Herding cattle started in the 1870's. cowboys were paid to herd cattle across land.Massacre at Sand Creek was where poorly armored Indians were killed off by Americans. The Bozeman trail was where a fight was to stop whites from traveling through. The battle of Little Bighorn was where the Indians had won against the Americans, but also made the Americans fight harder. The Battle of Wounded Knee was fought at wounded knee and ended with the Americans killing off the Cherokee and they surrendered. The Dawes Act was to be able to Americanize Indians to get rid of reservations.
5-2 -1607, they started settling over 400 million acres of farmland over a 250 year span. Most settlers were there to farm but some wanted to make a profit out of it. Some settlers got their houses raided by natives. Farmers got in dept just by lack of tools and money for seeds. They were also charged for shipping storage and lack of good farmland. The Populist Movement was to help farmers get out of debt and better say in government
