Question

why did white settlers flock to south dakota in 1874? (1 point) ○ gold was discovered. ○ the sioux sold the land to the united states government. ○ the land was exceptionally fertile. ○ oil was discovered.

Explanation:

In 1874, George Custer led an expedition and gold was discovered in the Black Hills of South Dakota. This discovery led to a rush of white settlers. The Sioux did not sell the land, the land's fertility was not the main draw in 1874, and oil was not discovered there at that time.

Answer:

A. Gold was discovered.
