The idea of cowboys and western culture was formed during the westward expansion of American settlers. Under the idea of Manifest Destiny (the right to own all of the land one inhabits) pioneers headed west, fighting against the elements and in some cases, the Native American Indians. It was in the dust and grit of the Southwest that many people settled and began to seek their fortunes. Here is where Western cowboys were born, as well as the staples of Western culture such as bull riding, lassoes, wide brim cowboy hats and a certain element of risk and danger at every turn.
The Southwest has been much refined since those old days, but people all over the United States and even the world still celebrate the values on which the West was found with Western movies, western decor, and western food.
