__Q&A__
=== 1.Cowboys originated in Texas which is in the west. Ranching was a big industry and cowboys helped to run the ranches. They herded cattle, and took care of the horses. The cowboys moved west because the land there was cheaper for them to herd cattle and make profit. ===



=== 2. Cowboys had issues with the Native Americans. Cowboys wanted the Indian land but they wouldn't give it to them. There were many attempts to drive the Indians out of their land which wasn't successful. Problems were brought to the government that led to wars between the two groups. ===

=== 3. The first cowboys arrived as settlers in Texas in 1821. After the Mexican-American War in 1848, a large amount of cattle was left behind which forced America to make cowboys to drive the cattle away. The first successful cattle drive was in 1867. Barbed wire was invented in the 1880's to move cattle without them overgrazing the land. Cattle drives ended in the 1890's due to the invention of railroads ===
