Cumberland gap is an obstacle to the settlement of the American West

Answer 2

There were many obstacles to the settlement of Americans in the west.

They were unable to make quick shelters and built cabins in a hurry.

Some even tried to stay using natural items.

The place was sweltering in the summers and very cold in the winters.

This was another major obstacle for the Americans to stay healthy without building a proper place to stay.
