achieve Americas Manifest Destiny Government policies were to
encourage settlement Land Grants given to those who would settle
and build railroads Homestead Act 1862 / Morill Land-Grant Act Open
Range becomes home to the cattle industry Cattle drives took the
Longhorns to where the railroads ran Ended due to farm settlements
and to much cattle on the market Great Plains develops from small
farming to bonanza farms Evolved from ranching / subsistent farming
to cash crops (wheat) Insensitivity by America in dealing with
Native Americans Natives forced onto unproductive lands (set up for
failure) American government attempted assimilation programs -

Ranching and Cattle Drives After the Civil War, many Americans
began building large cattle ranches on the Great Plains. The Texas
longhorn was a breed of cattle that could survive the harsh climate
of the plains. The cattle ranching industry grew in part because of
the open rangevast areas of grasslands owned by the federal
government. Cattle raisers could graze their herds free of charge
and without boundaries.

During the Civil War, large numbers of eastern cattle were
slaughtered to feed the Union and Confederate armies. After the
war, beef prices soared. This made it worthwhile to round up the
longhorns. The first long drive in 1866 across the Great Plains to
the railroad in Sedalia, Missouri, proved that cattle could be
driven north to the rail lines and sold for 10 times the price they
could get in Texas. Ranching and Cattle Drives (cont.)

Most cowboys were former Confederate army soldiers, a few were
Hispanic, and many were African American. The long cattle drives
ended, in part, when the open range was largely fenced off with
barbed wire. Investors from the East and from Britain put money
into the cattle business, causing an oversupply of animals on the
market. Ranching and Cattle Drives (cont.)

Great Plains. Railroad companies sold land along the rail lines at
low prices and provided credit. The federal government helped
settle the Great Plains by passing the Homestead Act in 1862. For
$10, a settler could file for a homestead, or a tract of public
land available for settlement.

- Section 2-13 (page 317) The Land Grant System Land grants were
given to railroad companies by the federal government to encourage
railroad construction. Railroad companies like the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific were able to cover all their building costs by
selling the land to settlers, real estate agencies, and other
businesses. Another government uses of Land Grants was to build
schools Over 70 Universities were built as Land Grant schools

Many inventions changed Americans way of life Telegraph,
electricity, light bulb, telephone, automobile As factories grew so
did supply of cheap products and jobs Organized labor grows during
this time to protect workers Unskilled workers more difficult to
protect than craft workers Women and children given less protection
by businesses Entrepreneurs such as Andrew Carnegie gain great
wealth Merging businesses to increase profits Horizontal
