Explanation:  

Railroads first built in the Indian territory to establishing control over the West and the Native Indians. The first rail lines started working in the 1830s. Railroads connected markets where farmers could sell their goods. Railroads encouraged immigration more quickly. New towns, farms, and ranches pressed against the native homelands, that led to upsetting economies and disputes that always ended badly for Indians. Rail connections to the Great Plains proved devastating as white people began to kill bison for pleasure.
