After the Civil War, there were a lot of black people who headed west.
They were a not-insignificant portion of the population of what we now call "cowboys".
None of the places with a "cowboy" tradition has a significant black population today.
Where did they all go?
The cattle-drive states should have 30-40% black populations from this.
What happened?
It's actually not a mystery.
If one third of the male population is black and hardly two percent is female... and marrying outside your race was a great way to be hanged... The population percentage dwindles.
Either they don't have kids, or they haul ass to where they have a decent chance at female companionship.
