Question

Why did so few people settle west of the Mississippi River between 1700 and 1800 s?

Answer 1

The answer for that would be "A, Land west of the Mississippi River was not good for farming" because according to answers.com, it says " People moved to the west because in the east there was no room for farming, economic depression, and there was no space for agriculture." So in this case, it is "A". Hope this answered what you needed. Ask me more questions and I will be sure to answer them. :)

Answer 2

Land west of the Mississippi River was not good for farming.

Step-by-step explanation:

In colonial America agriculture was extremely important for the small population that settled in this territory. Agriculture was the most significant and important form of food and small trade that was beginning to rise, so it was important for communities to settle in a region with soil and climate conducive to agriculture.

The land west of the Mississippi River was not good for agriculture, and this made the land unattractive to people, but as the good land for agriculture was quickly populated, some people had to occupy the west of the Mississippi River, but few people submitted to a land with little agricultural capacity.
