Late Horizon
The West
After the decline of the Songhai Empire in the late 16th century, factors such as internal strife, the rise of European colonial powers, and the transatlantic slave trade hindered the emergence of another dominant kingdom in West Africa. Additionally, the region became fragmented into smaller states and chiefdoms, each dealing with local issues and external pressures. The shift in trade routes and economic focus further diminished the possibility of a unifying empire like Songhai. As a result, West Africa experienced a period of political decentralization rather than the rise of a new centralized kingdom.
The term "frontier" aptly describes the Great Plains during the period when cattle ranchers and farmers settled the region because it signifies the boundary between established civilization and untamed wilderness. This area represented new opportunities for economic advancement, as ranchers and farmers sought to exploit the vast, open land for livestock grazing and agriculture. The challenges posed by harsh weather, isolation, and indigenous populations added to the notion of the frontier as a place of both promise and peril. Ultimately, the Great Plains became a symbol of American expansion and the pursuit of the "American Dream."
Calhan, Colorado, was incorporated as a town in 1879. It later became a city when it incorporated as a municipality in 1952. The town has a rich history tied to the development of the region and has maintained its small-town charm while serving as a hub for the surrounding rural area.
After the Civil War, the West experienced significant expansion and development, driven by factors such as the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, which facilitated the movement of people and goods. This period also saw the displacement of Native American tribes as settlers moved westward, leading to conflicts and changes in land ownership. Additionally, the discovery of gold and other resources attracted thousands of prospectors and settlers, further contributing to the region's growth and economic opportunities. Overall, the post-Civil War West became a symbol of opportunity and conflict in American history.
