Answer 1

No, but it seems plausible. you've seen Blazing Saddles haven't you?

Answer 2

Yes the Spaniards did bring horses and cows to the new world (Mexico), but they did not practice the art of ranching as we know it today; It was developed when Spain began Establishing the Rancho system in the New World Mexico and what is not the united states. Ranching as we know it today has it's founding in the Rancho system; Therefore, so does cowboying; Secondly Mexican is a nationality not a race; Everyone seems to talk about it that way and treat it that way; Mexico is much like the United States Racially. It is made up of European Ancestries and Native Ancestries as well as Ancestries, and yes even Asian ancestries. The Mexican State of Vera Cruz has a large black population as a result of the Spanish involvement in the slave trade; Today you will find large Italian, German, Irish, Chinese, and black communities in nearly every Mexican state. A good starting point would be to research the history of the peoples involved in Ranching; You will find that the Art of being a Cowboy truly was Mexican; It spread through the buying and sales of Cows and Horses. That being stated I know there will be those who will see the history of Ranching and Cowboying the way the that suits them. Not actual history.

Answer 3

Were There Black Cowboys

Answer 4

The first U.S.A. cowboys or vaqueros were Spanish Americans. The people that came from Spain settled in Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Texas was it's own territory at one time and the Spanish Americans Joined the U.S.A. after the war. Mexico the nation gave up the territory but those that lived in the territory did not leave they became U.S. citizens. Africans where slaves to mostly the french, british and dutch, the spanish used the natives as slave labor.

Answer 5

Um horses come from Europe, so f---k all of you! The first real cowboys come from Europe! You don't have to be from the Americans to be a cowboy with a gun, a sword back from the day is equivalent! And plus the Chinese made the first gun, and the Europeans perfected it. Your ethnic background does not matter, the world and pass is what it is! You can't distort it. Facts are always facts. So don't be a pansy!

This just goes to show you CAN learn something on here. I had always known there were a number of black cowboys. I can remember reading about Nat Love when I was 9-10 years old but I'd never heard of Bass Reeves until today so I had to look him up. Turns out he went from being a slave to becoming a Deputy US Marshal who arrested 3,000 felons and spoke several Native languages. Not bad for a Chicken and Watermelon loving, low IQ having, unable to control his impulses, coon huh? Thank you for enlightening us Cutie Pi.

Answer 7

Africans have lived on American land before the Europeans came and mixed with them and the Chinese. Horses are from North America.

http://www.irishhorsesociety.com/horsedata/horsesorigin.htm
The modern form of horse evolved from small dog like animals that first appeared 60 million years ago.

Over time wild ancestors of the modern horse evolved for millions of years in north America. They then spread to other parts of the world by travelling southwards to south America by crossing land bridges that connected north America to Europe and Asia during the ice age.

Horses vanished from both north and south America in a wave of extinction that occurred at the end of the Pleistocene epoch, about 15,000 years ago.

Horses nearly became extinct in the rest of the world as well, by about 7000 years ago the worlds only horses were confined to a small area in the still open grasslands steppes of Ukraine and central Asia.

They were not seen in the Americas again until 1494, when Italian explorer Christopher Columbus transported them on ships from Spain on his second voyage to the new world.

Przewalski's horse , which is believed to be the only truly wild horse to survive to modern times, probably became extinct in the wild in Mongolia in the 1960's.

About 1100 Przewalski's horses survive today in captivity in Zoos and Wildlife parks.

All thoroughbreds are descendants of three Arabian stallions that were brought to England in the late 1600s and early 1700s and bred with native European mares.

Quarter horses were developed in America from crosses between thoroughbreds and descendents of Spanish horses.

Answer 8

So what ALL OF YOU are saying is that the first people to be called the word "Cowboys" (not "vaqueros") were black. Why is everybody arguing the same thing? Yes it s semantics. That s the point of the very first post. Reading comprehension much?

Answer 9

Yes, I did know that. I also know that I have seen your answers pop up in a few questions talking about how racist other people were. And how everyone in Texas is a bigot. And also how white guys aren't attractive. And also how girls want to be you and guys want to be with you. I hate to see some of the racist comments around yahoo answers and in life. But perhaps you should get off your high horse and take a look at the world without generalizing people which is exactly what the racist people you so despise do. You know, there is such a thing as reverse racism and it happens everyday too. I am sorry you have to put up with ignorant, racist people in your life. But most every person in the world we live in today has to face those people.

Answer 10

cattle (bos taurus vatiety, the type raised in the USA at the time) are native to europe , they did not exist in the americas until they were brought by european settlers. the first cowboys were of european ancestry. THE MEXICANS DID NOT KNOW WHAT A COW WAS UNTIL THE EUROPEANS BROUGHT THEM OVER HERE.

the history revision going on is getting ridiculous.

Horses are native to europe also, europeans had been raising domesticated cattle and riding horses for 1000's of years before any mexican knew what either animal was. the same techniques used by western american cowboys began in europe.

Answer 11

Their was more Black Cowboys movies in the 30ths and the 40ths do your homework Blazing Saddles was not funny.
