It was a change from plantation life.
Settlers in colonial America moved west for the promise of a better life. They often moved for cheap land, to escape debt or jail, or because of the gold rush.
The "Fat West" attracted many freedmen due to the promise of land and economic opportunities following the Civil War. The Homestead Act and other legislation offered affordable land, enabling freedmen to pursue agriculture and build independent lives. Additionally, the lure of greater social and political freedoms in the West provided a chance to escape the oppressive conditions they faced in the South. This combination of opportunity and a desire for autonomy made the West an appealing destination for many freedmen.

Slaves from the South who settled in the West were often referred to as "cowboys" or "black cowboys," especially during the late 19th century. Many formerly enslaved individuals sought opportunities in cattle ranching and farming as they moved westward after the Civil War. Additionally, some were known as "freedmen" if they had gained their freedom. Their contributions to the Western expansion and culture, particularly in cattle drives and ranching, are significant yet often overlooked.
