What method did farmers use to grow crops in the challenging West Texas climate?​

Answers

Answer 1

Native Americans were the first to grow crops on West Texas soil, and were soon followed by pioneers who saw the area as a land of opportunity. Everything from corn, cantaloupe, and cotton were tried with success as farmers resiliently adapted to their environment.

By the start of the 20th century, cotton became the foundation of the area’s agricultural economy and boomed in the 1920s. Cattle ranching and poultry production were also important factors, and sorghum production soon followed.

Corn became even more important as cattle ranching expanded in the area. Corn became a major livestock feed crop, although its production began to decline after World War II. During this time farmers began to rely less on animal power, and more on machinery to work their crops.

The area also has a long history of petroleum extraction, and entire towns grew up around economic possibilities. Railroad lines were developed to connect the region with other areas of the state and the U.S.

i'm writing a essay on buffalo soldiers, i need help with it. My brain hurts and wont think.

could you give me some facts or sentences i could add? no playdurizing!!

Answers

Explanation:

In the years immediately following the Civil War, thousands of former

slaves moved westward, hoping to find new opportunities for employment.

Among the opportunities open to young black men was serving with the United

States Army. In 1866, the United States Congress authorized the creation

of six regular Army regiments to be staffed entirely by black soldiers. By

1869, these regiments were decreased by two. Black men were given the

choice of enlisting with the Ninth or Tenth Cavalry or the Twenty-fourth or

Twenty-fifth Infantry. It is these regiments that would eventually be

dubbed the Buffalo Soldiers (Katz 1996).

The term Buffalo Soldiers was bestowed by the Plains Indians, who were

the soldiers' enemies. Despite their enmity, however, the name reveals the

respect many Native Americans accorded to the black soldiers. The Indians

had high regard for the courage and valor shown by the black men in combat.

This paper argues that the Buffalo Soldiers played a crucial, though

often overlooked role in the history of westward expansion. By protecting

settlers, the Buffalo Soldiers paved the way for the settlement of the west

and the creation of the United States. By showing courage on the

battlefield, the Buffalo Soldiers also challenged prevailing misconceptions

about black people. In doing so, they contributed to the establishment of

multicultural societies in the West and by extension, in the rest of the

The Buffalo Soldiers initially came into being because during the late

19th century, the United States Military supported segregation. Black

freemen thus could not serve along with the white soldiers
