Question

Answer 1

All of the responses given contribute to the tensions between Spanish settlers and Indigenous nations in South and East Texas during the eighteenth century. The objections to Indigenous hunters killing feral cattle in places where bison were scarce and the driving of bison herds onto grasslands where they outcompeted settlers' cattle both led to conflicts over resources. The planting of mesquite on grasslands to protect bison herds and drive away cattle also created tensions. Additionally, the Spanish raiding Indigenous nations, such as the Apache, to steal their cattle further exacerbated the tensions between the groups.
