Imagine you’re an individual living in oklahoma in the 1800s. write a persuasive paragraph convincing the u. s. government of the critical need for a fort built in your area.

Dear Sirs,

I live in Oklahoma and I have decided to raise a family here.  

I think there are many opportunities for growth but there are also menaces. There are large sections of territory that is not occupied and the American Indian Natives surround the zone. As the government has allowed us to settle in these territories, Native American Indians that used to live here did not agree with the decision. They consider this territory its lands since ancient times and they say they have the right to live here.

That is why I am soliciting the construction of a Fort and the presence of some military division in this region. I need to protect my family and escort the cattle. I can’t do it on my own. And there are other families that are arriving that are going to need the government support to fully establish here.

I’ll wait for your comments and hope you can support my petition.

Kind Regards,

what class is this for i can then
