Which grazing area was located along the kansas border and was opened to settlement in 1893? a. the big pasture b. the cheyenne-arapaho ranch c. the w. j. ranch d. the cherokee outlet

 the correct answer is D

the Cherokee Outlet

 the history of the strip is fascinating, that of a nation,bent on punishing the Cherokee for aiding the confederacy course. The Cherokee nation agreed to white settler grazing arrangement in order to get rent due from the land, for a period of five years. the white settlers agreed to buy the land at three dollars per acre, and the Cherokee refused asking instead for higher rent fee,which congress refused to ratify,putting a price of 1.25$ per acre, and forbidding grazing to the extent that the land value diminished. the strip was later opened for non-indian settlement in 1893.
