    i have a question about this small passage?
    Question:
    the website of this passage is: http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/dodge.htm but, i'll just copy and past where i think the answer is, but i cant find it the question i dont get is: Why were the cattle towns called the “Sodom’s of the plains”? "For over 20 years after the Civil War, cowboys coaxed herds of cattle along arduous trails from the Texas grasslands north to the railheads in Kansas. At the end of the trail lay the infamous cow towns, the "Sodoms of the plains", places such as Abilene, Hays City, Wichita, Ellsworth and Dodge City. After following a slow moving herd of cattle along a dusty trail for as many as three months, these towns offered the cowboy a place to take a bath, gamble, find a woman, eat some good food and let off some steam. The towns accommodated their visitors with a liberal attitude towards their boisterous behavior. There were limits, however, and the towns hired enforcers to maintain a semblance of law and order. Law officers such as Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok, Luke Short and Bat Masterson became legends. " (that's the paragraph i think it's in)

    Answer:
    In the Bible, Sodom and Gomorrah were sinful cities that were destroyed by God (using fire and brimstone.) What the passage is saying is that the cattle towns were sinful places, what with all the bars and brothels. Hope that helps.
