Westward Expansion 5-2.3 Identify examples of conflict and cooperation between occupational and ethnic groups in the west, including, miners, ranchers, and cowboys; Native Americans and Mexican Americans; and European and Asian immigrants.

Conflicts Although the journey West often required groups of people to help one another, settlement also brought conflict among groups that competed for access the natural resources of the region.

The Gold Rush The discovery of gold and silver brought men westward seeking their fortunes. Prospectors (people) competed with one another to find the precious minerals and often created a lawless society. Mining companies that had the equipment to dig deeper into the terrain competed with people and companies for the richest sites. Boom towns grew quickly to serve the needs of the miners and just as quickly turned to ghost towns the ore vein was depleted.

The Gold Rush

Ranchers and Cowboys Ranchers and cowboys cooperated to develop the cattle raising industry. Cowboys drove the herds, owned by the ranchers, across the open plains to the nearest railroad depot and shipped them to processing plants farther east.

Ranchers and Cowboys Ranchers and cowboys competed with rustlers and often came in conflict with the townspeople they encountered along the way. After the Civil War, when farmers settled and fence large parts of the plains, they interfered with the open ranges across which cowboys drove the herds. The cowboys, who did not want to be fenced in, and the farmers, who built the fences with the newly invented barbed wire, fought over how the western lands should be used and who should use them. Unfortunately, the era of the cattle drive did not survive the establishment of farms on the plains.

Ranchers and Cowboys

African Americans Due to discrimination in the South, many African Americans were eager to move west. After the Civil War many African Americans moved west in hopes of owning their own land. One group of African Americans that were encouraged to move was the Exodusters. The Exodusters primarily settled in Nicodemus, Kansas.
