The headline that presents the best evidence of an effect of a change in the demographic patterns of the Western region of America is, "Conflict Reported between Indians, Cattle Ranchers, and Farmers."
The western region of the United States was not very occupied during the first half of the 1800s and so the Natives there were able to live in relative peace and on their own land.
This changed because:
- Railroads allowed people to easily move to the west
- The government and people were bent on expanding the U.S. from the Atlantic to the Pacific
- There were opportunities to be taken advantage of in the west.
As a result, many people began to move to the west and claim land and this led to conflict between everyone who needed land. Cattle ranchers wanted more land for their cattle and farmers wanted more land to grow crops and they both wanted Native land.
In conclusion, the change in demographic patterns owing to people moving to the west, led to conflict between those who needed land and owned it such as the Natives and farmers.
