However, the extent of success from the opportunity varied on multiple factors. For the homesteader, opportunity was based upon good weather conditions and hard work but mostly only large scale corporations succeeded. Mining provided little for the average miner; large mining industries profited instead..

    In Cowboy Conservatism, we get to take a look at the rise of conservatism in Texas and the many events that led to the shift from Democratic Texas to a more right wing centered Texas. The events in the book including the election of LBJ, the assassination of Kennedy, and the election of Ronald Reagan, are some of the major events that helped shape Texas into what it is today. For a century after Reconstruction, the Democratic Party enjoyed electoral dominance on all levels of state government and in the Lone Star State's representation in the national government. Democrats held a lock on state politics and government throughout the first half of the twentieth century. But beneath the surface the party's dominance was crumbling. Political…

    American West Risks

    I believe that the risks the American West posed to those who were brave enough to venture out to the American West were worth it. I also believe that I would have moved to the West despite the dangers and corruption happening at the time for two reasons. Number one and most important reason were the economic opportunities. Many immigrants chose the West because of the hope for economic prosperity. Chinese immigrants for example, having heard of the California Gold rush hoped that they would be able to accumulate wealth and return to China. But soon they discovered their labor was a source of steady income and many stayed working as miners and laborers for the railroad corporations. At the…

    The wild west was one of America 's most violent times.The American Wild West is a period of history rife with tales of vicious gunfights and battles between lawmen and outlaws. It is the story of exploration and forging a new way of life. Men, women and children left their homes in the East and headed West looking for land and riches. While Hollywood has tended to portray this historical era as one of harshness and violence, scholars have suggested recently that much of the violence in the Old West was more myth than fact. While violence might not have been commonplace, it definitely happened, sometimes explosively. From the gunfight at the O.K. Corral to one-on-one gunslinger showdowns, history reveals that this was a dangerous time.…

When I went to a football game four years ago, I believe I was the victim of a minority double standard issue and was deprived of my personal liberties.…

    I agree A Tribe Called Quest were great along with all the Native Tongues. I’ve actually seen most of the groups in person, good times. Although the formation of these artists I feel are completely different e.g., If I were to plot them on a phylogenetic tree, they might have the same root but different branches. However, there does appear to be some congruity between both the Native Tongues and Gil Scott-Heron, ideologically and aesthetically. Ideologically, Chuck D at a Supreme World Council meeting of the Zulu Nation talked about the contradictions in the negative portrayal of women in rap songs and the glorification of gang violence marketed to children which is aligned with Gil Scott-Heron’s song, A Message to the Messengers (lyrics…

    In the late 15th century Columbus encountered African Americans which was a factor to how the race was invented. The race was set by a system of rules and a hierarchy where people were set on a scale depending on their race. The color of people's skin and their cultural beliefs are what set up the idea of race. Race in the American West was based off certain rights and if the people in the American West during this time weren’t considered fully white they were discriminated in American societies. The race is looked upon differently in many parts of the world. The American West compares to racism around other parts of the world based on the social hierarchy of racial status.…
