Death
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.

Buffalo herds declined in the 1830s and 1840s due to increased demand for buffalo robes. The demand in commercial centers like New York and St. Louis nearly led the species to extinction.
Before they were almost wiped out, bison herds in North America numbered in the millions and often stretched for miles.
