  23. Chapter 7 Railroads, Cattle and Agriculture. • Timeframe: 1859- 1885. • Key Topics: Population Growth in KS. Cattle Industry in Kansas. The railroad in KS. Development of railroad towns in KS. Changes in farming practices.

  24. Essential Questions. • Essential Questions. • 1. Why did Cattle drives come to Kansas? • 2. What effects did cattle drives have on people in Kansas? • 3. Why did the Cattle Drives end? • 4. How did the Government encourage the growth of the Railroads? (subsidy, monopoly, Cyrus K. Holliday.) • 5. What was the impact of having a town near a railroad. (Fred Harvey, depots).

  25. Essential Questions cont. • What was life like for most farmers in Kansas? • How did new technology affect farm production in KS?

  26. Growing the Economy • Between 1859 and 1885 the state was growing in population. • Population grew because there were jobs to be had. • Factors that brought people here were railroads, cattle drives, and land available to farm.

  27. Cattle industry. • Texas had a surplus of Cattle. • There was a demand for cattle in the East. • It made sense to drive cattle herds to Kansas, put them on trains to get them back east. • The drives spanned 750 miles for 30-40 days.

  28. Cowboys and Cowtowns • Teams of Young men called cowboys brought the cattle. • When they arrived in KS, they were paid for their services • They then could spend the money in the towns. • Locals did not like the herds, they brought disease and destroyed crops and land. • Diseases led to the banning of Texas cattle. Eventually railroads came to Texas.

  29. The Railroad • The Federal government wanted a transcontinental railroad to connect the country. • To encourage this, they gave land grants to RR companies to build on. • Companies could sell the extra land given. • Railroad companies had monopolies on land and could charge what they wanted for land and shipping costs.

  30. Town Development. • Planning of new towns was important. • If a town was not close to a railroad it would not survive. • Businesses were located right near tracks. • Local farmers would bring crops to towns for sale and shipment.

  31. Living in the Country • Farmers relied on towns to sell goods and buy equipment that they couldn’t make or repair. • Most farmers grew enough food to sell extra for profit. • Early in the State’s history corn was an important crop because it could be eaten as is or ground into meal. • Wheat became popular when railroads came because it could be shipped off to mills.

  32. New farming practices • More mechanical equipment allowed farmers to work more land. • With horses it took roughly a day to work an acre of ground. • As more machinery became available it took less manpower to plant and harvest. • More food was produced this way and more was available for sell.
