One out of every 3 cowboys were black. Cowboys was the racist term used by White Supremacists, for the grown black men tending the herds. They referred to all black men back then, no matter their age, as boy. If you were black and tended the herd, you were a cowboy. Their White counterparts who road horses, were called drovers. As they literally drove the direction of the herds. Racist Hollywood didn't think the name Drover Pictures would sell enough movie tickets. So they rewrote and stole even more history from black people. Excluded people of color, outside of being servants, escaped prisoners ect.. And thus Cowboy Pictures were born. Every ethnicity was represented in The West, the discovery of gold promised prosperity and new life to anyone that possessed it. Buffalo soldiers were African American soldiers, who mainly served on the Western frontier following the American Civil War. In 1866. Six all-Black cavalry and infantry regiments were created, after Congress passed the Army Organization Act.
Contrary to Hollywood depiction., That great migration and The Wild West, only lasted 20 years. The railroad ended roundups and wagon trains. The Telegraph came to California between 1849 and 1853. The days of Free Native Americans were then numbered. The Battle of the Little Bighorn was on January 25 & 26 of 1876.
The Civil War was fought over money and land. The South had free and untaxed labor through slavery. While the North had to pay and insure employees. The expansion toward California, along with the gold they would get. Was something neither side was willing to share.
Due to the creation of Mafia Movies, which introduced the machine gun. The long popularity of Westerns was beginning to slide. In order to stay at the top genre, the mythical 'Fanning' of a handgun was invented. This Hollywood, fast cocking and recocking of the hammer. Gave the cowboys the mythical
shooting speed, to match their deadly counterparts. It was a temporary reprieve, so the genre was mostly abandoned in America. In Italy and other European Countries, Westerns were perhaps bigger than ever. So their directors hired American Stars of Westerns, to play in their movies. In another racist campaign, Hollywood dubbed thees movies, 'Spaghetti Westerns'. As racist and bigot whites, referred to people of Italian Descent, as 'spaghetti-benders.' Many of these great films, were far superior to their earlier American Counterparts.
