Would you move to a remote area for free land?

@Ferise1 No, they didn't. They generally treated them very badly though, with this lingering even into the 1960s in some ways and countries.

Not only in what became called the United States of America, but in very many parts of the world.

@Ferise1 They could well have done. Some mixing would have occurred, but in most places the indigenous people really had little choice eventually but to become what was now the country's new society.

@AthrillatheHunt I wouldn't live in Cheyenne Wyoming either and I once lived there when it was -30.

@DeWayfarer Bwaaaaa! Cowboy country gets butt ass cold ! I’m starting to hate Northeaet winters. Couldn’t imagine Midwest or Great Plains winters

@AthrillatheHunt I lived there for six years. Don't ask me to go back though.
