Why did my nurse in the west create groups of vigilantes? To clear forests and prepare for mining. To take control of claims from businesses. To enforce laws and punish criminals. To a place independent contractors.

It is likely that the nurse in the west created groups of vigilantes to enforce laws and punish criminals. This was a common practice in the Wild West, where law enforcement was often scarce and communities had to take matters into their own hands to maintain order. Vigilante groups would often form to protect their communities from outlaws and other threats.
