Problem
The Comanches were one of the most brutal and feared tribes in North America. They controlled a territory called Comancheria that encompassed parts of present day New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. One of your sources states that the Comanches were the reason the Spanish did not go further north and why the East Coast and West Coast were settled before the Great Plains. After reviewing the assigned sources, please answer the following questions:
Why were the Comanches so feared? How did they control so much territory? Why were they so hard to defeat? How did Quanah Parker become the last chief of the Comanche and what was the importance of his role as chief?
