Public school education was required in the Montana territory by 1883. The settlers of the western territories sent their children to school houses that were likely built of sod, and for the first time, was taught by women. The mandatory education requirement created a shortage of teachers, so the opportunity was extended to women. All classes were held in one room structures and taught by a single teacher.

During the presidency of George Washington (1789-1797), tensions between American settlers and Natives increased primarily for one reason: still more settlers passed from the American East Coast into the 'wild western' lands beyond the Appalachian Mountains, thereby increasing contact (and friction) with the resident Natives. This movement was due in part to the intentional encouragement of westward settlement by the United States government, particularly in light of the continuing British presence in what was at the time largely called the 'Northwest Territory.'


How did municipal governments respond to the challenges of urban expansion?
