Why were the colonists unable to capture the fertile lands?

Prove it.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the Star-Spangled Banner, in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
 
Some Southern gentleman went with the 1776 revolt with western hopes of expansion into what became Kentucky - land fertile as it came
Kentucky and Ohio were covered in dense hardwood forests and populated by very unfriendly Indians. They were called the "dark and bloody grounds" at the time. The Great Plains were trackless virgin prairie that laughed at horse-drawn plows. It took a lot of sweat to break that land for farming.
 
I don't believe in the "histories" written by the colonists. Moreover, their version does not coincide with scientific data.
So you, a modern man doesn't agree with the people who lived in those days written records of the conditions they lived in. What exactly did they have to gain by writing lies for you to not believe about farming conditions?

Cowboys lived there, real Americans. They did not need a lot of cultivated land, because they were engaged in cattle breeding.

Exactly the same tale was written by the Bolsheviks for Russia. They call the most fertile steppe lands, which still remain the main granaries, "the wild field", and they say that no one lived there, although it is well known that horse breeders lived there, the most glorious warriors, cavalry, which was the highest aristocracy. At the same time, they are trying to pass off the forest-marshy lands of the west as a "center of culture", although until recently Neolithic savages lived there, who did not even know copper.
 
Throughout history, agricultural cultures have been backward and slave-owning, always claiming the steppe lands to settle their colonies. The source of the leftist slave system of communism is precisely the agricultural slaves and their masters.

the land was incredibly fertile in Kentucky Some in the south wanted that land, but it was illegal to go west of the agreed border after the war (Britain issued the Proclamation of 1763, which forbade British colonists from living west of the Appalachian Mountains. It was hoped this would prevent further conflict, as the Proclamation would ease the Native Americans' fears.) - Treaty of Paris (1763) - Ohio History Central
 
Cramming and Crushing


Just like the British they imitated, the Deep State in the Northeast discouraged mobility. After the Civil War, when they were forced to allow expansion as an outlet to get rid of the discontented, they reduced the Army to 25,000. The settlers were left unprotected against savages.
this just might be the looniest example of colonial era history I've stumbled upon in a while

thank you. I'll use it as an example to explain lunacy to people
