Question

In the early 1800s, why was there so little settlement on the Great Plains?

Answer 1

Answer: I think that the answer is A, White explorers did not travel into the region until the mid-1800s.

Answer 2

One of the main reasons why there was so little settlement in the Great Plains during this time was because the United States was still very "young", and traveling was very dangerous and expensive, considering there was little-to-no political structure in place in the West.
