•The homesteaders benefited largely from this invention because they could prevent unwanted cowboys and cattle from coming onto their land.
•The cowboys did not benefit from this invention because it ended the open range era and the cattle they herd would often get wounded on the barbed wire.
•Joseph Glidden should be honored because he saw a problem that was happening (Fights between homesteaders and cowboys) and created a smart invention to fix it.
•The barbed wire sped up the settlement of the Great Plains by ending the open range era, eventually putting an end to cowboys, and making cattle owners happy as they eventually saw the benefits of not having open range cattle.

•There were no trees in the great plains to make fences out of wood.
•Because of the lack of trees, Joseph Glidden used wire to make barbed wire. He wanted to make something that could be easily transported on the railroad.
•Barbed wire is wire twisted together with barbs sticking out of it.
•After people started putting up barbed wire fences it was a lot harder for cowboys because of the lack of open range.
