Explanation

Boom towns in the Indian Territory faced shortages of resources and weak law enforcement, while drinking and gambling were common. Opportunities were not limited to American Indians and freedmen; people from outside the territory also came seeking work and business. Therefore, “Opportunities were limited to American Indians and freedmen” was not a social problem associated with the boom towns.
