During the 1800s many immigrants came to the United States to

One way the building of railroads contributed to environmental change was by -

• enclosing land into fenced areas

• polluting rivers on the Great Plains

• helping to wipe out large herds of bison

Those who supported the idea of Manifest Destiny believed that the Unites States should

• stretch from ocean to ocean

• spread democracy overseas

• pay settlers to live on the plains

• give land to American Indian tribes

American Indian leaders like Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull reacted to settlement of the West by

• demanding statehood and representation

• leading an armed resistance to U.S. policies

• teaching settlers how to survive on the plains

• helping to build railroads across the United States

Cities like Denver and Kansas City became major economic centers because

• they are seaport cities

• the railroad lines are nearby

• the climate in the area is so mild

• they are along the Mississippi River
