In the 1800s, the Great Plains region of the U.S. was characterized primarily by vast expanses of grasslands, which supported a nomadic lifestyle for Indigenous peoples and large herds of bison. The area experienced significant settlement and agricultural development following westward expansion, particularly after the Homestead Act of 1862. This led to increased farming and ranching, but also to challenges such as soil depletion and conflicts with Native American tribes. The region became known for its harsh weather conditions, including droughts and blizzards, which impacted its agricultural viability.
