Today, people know the Western history as the Wild West, and it’s an era people often romanticise over through movies, novels and comics. Therefore, the audience weren’t taught much about the western history because the media conveyed fictional stories of the Wild West. However, the title ‘Wild’ is true for the western’s lawlessness, untamed territories of the Mississippi River, the rowdy and unruly behaviour, and the famous gunslingers, outlaws and lawmen. But to burst the bubble of romanticism, the west was not so wild and more like the “Mild West”. For example, in modern america, there were over 4,000 bank robberies recorded than in the 1865-1895, since there were only 7-9 recorded. In addition to that, there were also gun control, since the citizens had enough of gun violence, but despite that, families had to carry their own pistols or rifles with them anywhere, even children! There may have been gunslinger duels but people at the time preferred rifles over pistols because they were more accurate and effective, since pistols were more close-range and small-bulleted. And the wagons circling around in the Native American territory was to not defend the west but keep the cattle from running away. But, in history terms, the west was diverse with race: there were American black, Native Americans, Chinese, and Mexican. However, during the period of the Wild West, the west were defending their land but also wanted more, so the Native Americans had to fight for their land since the american government pushed them out by killing them and mass killing their food. But also, we cannot forget their dedication of the Gold Rush.
