Question

Someone just, please help? D:

Which of the following was the least dangerous threat to pioneers on the Oregon Trail?

A) Attacks By Native Americans
B) Disease
C) Accidents
D) Drowning

Answer 1

I would say the answer is D. Drowning. Attacks by native americans were very frequent. Disease was also a big factor because any time a group of people migrate to a new region they face the diseases of that region which they have not yet gained an immunity to. Accidents were very common too, such as children falling out of the wagons and getting trampled by oxen. so the most probable answer would be D.

Answer 2

This is a late reply, but i'd like to thank you! I actually got this one correct on my History homework i had to do and i chose D. So thank you for the detailed reponse as well! :D
