To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the historical context and the factors that contributed to the growth of the cattle industry in Indian Territory.
After the Civil War, there was a high demand for cattle in the North as a result of the war's impacts on the northern states' cattle population. At the same time, Texas had a surplus of cattle due to its large and thriving cattle industry. This created an opportunity for cattle to be transported from Texas to the northern states, where they were needed.
To transport the cattle, cattle trails were established across Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). These trails served as routes to move the herds from Texas to the railheads in the North. The cattle drovers would drive the herds across Indian Territory, making use of the existing trails and guiding the cattle towards the railheads where they could be loaded onto trains for transportation to the market in the North.
So, the growth of the cattle industry in Indian Territory was primarily attributed to the high demand for cattle in the North after the Civil War, coupled with the surplus of cattle in Texas. The cattle trails across Indian Territory provided the essential transportation routes for moving the herds from Texas to the railheads.
