Question

Read the following statement, which describes the social climate in Indian and Oklahoma Territories in the late 1800s.

When the land runs opened Oklahoma Territory to settlement in 1889, blacks were encouraged to set up homesteads. This opportunity brought the largest number of blacks to Oklahoma compared with any other event. The two societies co-existed in the Indian and Oklahoma Territories for a time--the white towns and the black towns. The increasing number of people seeking settlement, along with additional land runs, brought the two together.

What prompted the end of peaceful co-existence between whites and blacks during this time period?

land runs
economic competition
outside influences
federal laws

Answer 1

(A) the land runs prompted the end of peaceful co-existence between whites and blacks during this time period

Step-by-step explanation:

The time period starting from 1866 upto 1899, demand for food in Eastern part of the cities and railroads in Kansas was ought to be met by cattle ranches in Texas Storve. Later developing as cow boys, the products were either transported to north or they settled without valid permissions in Indian territory.

The increased influx of white settlers prompted the US Govt to establish the Dawes act in 1887, hence dividing the land of tribes which in turn led to the premature end of peaceful existence between white and black people.
