Responses
There are multiple reasons that contributed to the Comanche's attack and destruction of Fort Parker in 1836. Here is one possible correct answer:
- The Comanche attacked and destroyed Fort Parker in 1836 as an act of retaliation for the kidnapping of Cynthia Ann Parker, a young girl who had been taken captive by the tribe several years earlier. The Comanche saw the fort as a symbol of the settlers who encroached upon their territory, and they sought to reclaim Cynthia Ann Parker and punish the settlers for their presence.
