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.
