Question 20 • LHS Oklahoma History
Cattle drives brought outsiders and large herds across the Indian Territory, so they did not give tribes complete control over how outsiders crossed their lands. Tribes could earn money by leasing grazing land, cattle trails connected Texas with Kansas, and Texas cattle could spread diseases to tribal herds. Therefore, the statement about gaining complete control is not an example of the drives’ effects.
