The Cattle Industry

Question 19 • OK-Oklahoma History

Which of the following factors is not an example of how Texas cattle drives affected the Indian Territory?

Answer
A
Tribal herds were hurt by Texas fever.
B
Tribes were able to profit from leasing land to ranchers.
C
Tribal herds were forced to compete for grazing land.
D
Tribes were successfully able to tax and regulate each cattle drive.

Explanation

Texas cattle drives brought several harms and benefits to the Indian Territory: Texas fever damaged tribal herds, and migrating cattle competed for grazing land. Tribes also earned money by leasing land to ranchers. They were not successfully able to tax and regulate each cattle drive, so that is not an example of an effect.
