Option 2)

Explanation:

The Louisiana Purchase (1803) was a land bargain between the United States and France, in which the U. S. gained around 827,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River for $15 million. Finding no riches in Cibola or the environment, Coronado moved his military east to the pueblos around Albuquerque, on the Rio Grande River, in September 1540. They spent the winter there. The primary European to land in Oklahoma was Spanish adventurer Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in 1541. The precursors of the Wichita and their partners had procured firearms and ponies by 1719, the Wichita moved south to the Red River, where they involved braced towns.
