The main factor that contributed to the destruction of the southern buffalo herds was the massive slaughtering of the herds by white hunters and entrepreneurs, encouraged and promoted by the U.S. Army. In 1840, more than sixty-million buffalo roamed the Plains, and by 1886, there were fewer than one hundred free-roaming buffalo left.
