A. It looked good in photographs
B. To corral the livestock
C. Provide protection against the Indians

Answer: Even though Hollywood movies have fueled the myth that pioneers circled the wagons at the end of the day as protection against Indian attacks, the wagons were primarily circled to provide a convenient corral for loose livestock.
