Greenbacks were collected by the federal government after the Civil War, taking the only currency available to settlers on the plains. What impact did the rise of the cattle industry have on the environment? Because buffalo and cattle were so similar, the cattle industry had no real impact at all. Overgrazing became a problem, causing erosion; the Great Plains are fenced in. Since the cattle industry used little land, its main impact was to protect the environment. The cattle industry halted the advance of the railroads, thus keeping the environment stable. What was a major factor in the destruction of the American bison? As an act of warfare, whites killed the buffalo because they knew that Native Americans were dependent upon them for food, shelter, clothing, and fuel.

The "gold standard" meant that paper money was worthless - all debts had to be settled in gold. The "gold standard" was another name for bimetallism. What was the main role the railroads played in the rising discontent of the farmers? By facilitating travel, the railroads allowed farmers to attend mass political meetings. By making mail service more regular, the railroads allowed farmers to keep in better touch with national political developments. By charging high prices to ship farmers' produce, the railroads added to the farmers' financial difficulties. The railroads were widely seen as pro-farmer. Which statement best explains why the Populists and the Democrats believed that bimetallism would help farmers and workers? By putting more money into circulation, people would be able to repay existing debts; this would help debtors climb out of debt sooner. Populists and Democrats, who were enemies of the farmers, were opposed to bimetallism. Farmers, like most populists, had large investments in silver mines. By putting more money into circulation, bankers and investors would regain their confidence, and be less eager to foreclose on the farmers' defaulted loans.
