You can almost draw parallels to internet culture. At first it was lawless and you could basically do what ever but has slowly been becoming more regulated
By 2019, the age of pirates and bloggers was at an end The Internet was becoming a land of terms and conditions Even the message boards have mostly been tamed... A few websites still roamed, but they were being hunted down and BLACKLISTED...
And of course Red Dead brought the genre back some much needed attention. I would love to see new Westerns in theaters. And not that Cowboys vs Aliens kind of crap.
Werh aboo You dumb? The wild west has been around for much longer than Red Dead Redemption two... Jesus. It was obviously Red dead revolver that started this.
Please do something like this too, about where the romanticized view of pirates comes from. When ever did pirates wear eye patches, wooden legs, have parrots, talk about booty, etc.
I love being able to brag that my great-great-great grandfather got to meet the queen, Czar and the German leader, worked with Buffalo Bill & made relatives with Annie Oakley. My grandfather being Sitting Bull :)
I don’t know if the story is true, but nonetheless it is a good story. It reminded me of Sitting Bull and his legacy and influence on American culture.
My Great Great Great Grandfather was in the Pony Express, fought in the Mexican American war, was a native-american interpreter, helped build Fort Davis in Texas, founded a Post Office there, and then moved to Lincoln County, New Mexico with his Spanish wife who had a son that married an Apache woman. They were there during the Lincoln County war with Billy the Kid.

1850-1890 Prime west 1890-1910 Late west 1910-1920 Tiny pockets of wild, lawlessness, sprinkled around parts of the south west, mostly in border areas, (Cochise County, mountainous parts of Arizona, etc.) 1920-present The old west is no more.
I’m a Westerner from Arizona and it makes me happy that Western culture is starting to be appreciated again. It was depressing when people confused western culture with southern culture, but now that’s starting to fade.
I've recently been wondering where that confusion originates. I'm a Canadian, and I combined the two cultures in my head for whatever reason when I was a child, but differentiated them by the time I reached my late teens after actually thinking about it. I should add that I'm a Western Canadian from Alberta, which is a quite rural province north of Montana that generally has the same individualistic sentiment that most western states seem to have (though it still maintains distinct stereotypical Canadian elements to its culture). Even with that, I still confused southern and western cultures as a kid. My first thought is that it must have been old Hollywood movies that caused this confusion because of protagonists with southern accents, but I watched them again and most don't even speak like southerners. Maybe it's because people associate both the west and the south with rural life. I really don't know. I know a lot of southerners moved out west after the Civil War and would have definitely brought their southern drawls over with them, so that might also be a reason. It might even be the fact that certain states like Texas are called both western and southern depending on who you ask.
@@LetsGoWrongboarding That's true as well. It's definitely harder to hear accent differences if you're foreign to a country. I feel like it would be even harder to differentiate between the accents for non-North American English speakers like people from the UK or Australia.
I will say; the native Americans (I am one, extremely enthralled in our history trying to educate people on our history that’s been swept under the rug) didn’t just procure smallpox on their own. It was a result of settlers coming over and the eventual warfare that which was begun by Europeans originally. We have been looked at as savages, less than human. We were sent to residential schools/boarding schools (for my brothas down south) to “kill the Indian within the child”. The schools were used to commit a cultural genocide that even now, still hasn’t been talked about. We need to research this more. We need to give our side of history too.
Red Dead Redemption series pretty much explains this, and you can see this as you were going around exploring! 🙂 by 1899 it was showing signs that it was pretty much dying and even explains that part in the second one, till you got to the 1st one which 1911. The rest of the USA at the time was starting become more modernized from Automobiles , to Semiautomatic Pistols instead of revolvers , aswell better law enforcement. Henceforth you can see these happening in Blackwater, and Saint Denis. The Wild west Truly didnt end till 1920!
There was definitely a second 2nd act to the wild west in the early 20th century. The Pancho Villa Mexican bandit era happened in the 1910s. That was the era when all those street shootouts happened between gunslingers. This was truly an era of lawlessness. See the battle of Columbus (1916) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Columbus_(1916)
Didn't the 1960s bring about the space age and fascination with the future and technology? Also for some reason this makes me think of Toy Story and Buzz Light Year replacing Woody

@@calebelliott147 well you didn't need a wheel to live in a peace and slow life not like in the old world that romans could enslave you or be a merchnet in the greece or middle east towns
@@calebelliott147 it not that they weren't smart is that they weren't in danger from being attack like europeans causing problems so you didn't need to rush a better life if your culture is peace ful
You think life among the natives was all peaceful? They were always waring with one another just like in other parts of the world. Conquest was the way of life for all people until recently.
@@calebelliott147 they never gone like the europeans did ethic cleansing, genocide, slavery, rape, torture, over killing a certain animal to extinction that the people and environment depend on that cause will death, replacing a plant and animal there a certain word for it. and the rest.
This was humanities “perfect storm”, a lawless age where often there was no consequence for murder, an abundance of poverty and an age where revolvers and rifles went through some very significant technological advancements. Factor in the newspapers turning skilled gunmen into legendary gunslingers and you have a recipe for disaster. It was absolute chaos but still I can’t help but think there’s an honesty in that “eye for an eye” mentality that you can’t find anywhere in civilisation.
If I lived in the old west, I'd be a train engineer carrying livestock , people, mail and goods across the plains in a big 4-4-0 American type locomotive with a tall smoke stack and big red cowcatcher.
Recently I watched Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, which came out right when the spaghetti western had ran its course and was also Eastwood's final film in the genre. It's as if the man with no name hung up his hat and was forced to come to terms with the end of the life he lived. Between that film and Red Dead Redemption, both are excellent stories that show how civilization eventually sent the wild west into decline.
So for a few years now my gf and I have been creating a comic called Vainwood. It's about the relationship between Sheriff Thompson and the local bartender/bandit Elliot. We do a *lot* of research (like if being gay was a thing. oh boy it w a s) and this video helped a lot! We have a time span of 4 years in the story, so knowing the history is super useful! Awesome video man!
My dad sits around watching westerns most of his free time that he's not watching the news. I can empathize with people getting tired of westerns and the channel he watches has a lot of them. Oddly, some of them remind me of game plots and are interesting. One movie reminded me of something from Pokemon Sapphire, since the bad guy had a nautical cave hideout. I guess some of these ideas are older than we think.
Indian Chief, “Two Eagles,” was asked by a white government official, “You have observed the white man for 90 years. You’ve seen his wars and his technological advances. You’ve seen his progress, and the damage he’s done.” The Chief nodded in agreement. The official continued, “Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?” The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied. “When white man find land, Indians running it. No taxes, No debt, Plenty buffalo, Plenty beaver, Clean Water; Women did all the work at camp, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; All night [making love to wife.]” Then the chief leaned back and smiled. “Only white man dumb enough to think he can improve system like that.”
I grew up in the mountains of western Colorado, in an area that was so remote, at the time, it was still considered a frontier area (one doctor for a thousand square miles, nearest store was 45 miles away...which was fun in the winter, nearest hospital was over 50...again, fun in the winter as it could take over three hours to get there in a blizzard as I know from experience, nearest mall was 100 miles away). Some of the oldest folks in town remembered their parents telling them about the pack muletrains going up the mountains to the mines, and maybe not coming back because of accident, or animal attack, or avalanche in the winter. It was an interesting place to grow up, but definitely not as rough as it was in the early days.
Wyoming would like to disagree. Our frontier days, Buffalo bill Cody museum, and dispersed low population are testament to that. (Go to frontier days if you can. Rodeo clowns, cowboys and pancakes for literal days)

-Faith

Henceforth you can see these happening in Blackwater, and Saint Denis. The Wild west Truly didnt end till 1920!
I don't think the Wild West really "ended" but rather gradually faded. Some parts of the center of the US are still pretty wild even today.
The Apache wars didn't end until 1924

Wow amazing video Cody, I can't imagine the amount of time invested in this project. 10/10
This is a question that I've always wanted answered but never bothered to ask. Thanks for the video!
Why did the Wild West fall?
It caught Lumbago.
At least we can experienced it in video games
what do you mean? isn't iraq like the wild west? Well maybe it's a bit worse than that actually with all that religious extremism
@NatPop no the whole country is a shit show
@@hazzmati not any more thankfully
@NatPop Thanks, and most of the USA is fine
Hazzmati it’s the wild east
The Red Dead Redemption Jokes are absolutely hilarious. YOU JUST NEED SOME GODDAM FAITH.

Along with 50,000 years of not having invented the wheel
@@calebelliott147 well you didn't need a wheel to live in a peace and slow life not like in the old world that romans could enslave you or be a merchnet in the greece or middle east towns
@@calebelliott147 it not that they weren't smart is that they weren't in danger from being attack like europeans causing problems so you didn't need to rush a better life if your culture is peace ful
You think life among the natives was all peaceful? They were always waring with one another just like in other parts of the world. Conquest was the way of life for all people until recently.
@@calebelliott147 they never gone like the europeans did ethic cleansing, genocide, slavery, rape, torture, over killing a certain animal to extinction that the people and environment depend on that cause will death, replacing a plant and animal there a certain word for it. and the rest.
The Wild West would have still been going on today if yall just had some *MANGOES AND SOME GODDAMN FAITH*
Great job Cody. Another fantastic Alternate History scenario!

This was humanities “perfect storm”, a lawless age where often there was no consequence for murder, an abundance of poverty and an age where revolvers and rifles went through some very significant technological advancements. Factor in the newspapers turning skilled gunmen into legendary gunslingers and you have a recipe for disaster. It was absolute chaos but still I can’t help but think there’s an honesty in that “eye for an eye” mentality that you can’t find anywhere in civilisation.
If I lived in the old west, I'd be a train engineer carrying livestock , people, mail and goods across the plains in a big 4-4-0 American type locomotive with a tall smoke stack and big red cowcatcher.
I would be working in a farm.
I would die of cholera
I'd have. Uh... died too bells palsy?
I did hold up many banks, shoot up hundred of cops and Pinkertons before retiring to Tahiti
I would do everything that was said here, but i have terminal lumbago...
Recently I watched Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, which came out right when the spaghetti western had ran its course and was also Eastwood's final film in the genre. It's as if the man with no name hung up his hat and was forced to come to terms with the end of the life he lived. Between that film and Red Dead Redemption, both are excellent stories that show how civilization eventually sent the wild west into decline.
So for a few years now my gf and I have been creating a comic called Vainwood. It's about the relationship between Sheriff Thompson and the local bartender/bandit Elliot. We do a *lot* of research (like if being gay was a thing. oh boy it w a s) and this video helped a lot! We have a time span of 4 years in the story, so knowing the history is super useful! Awesome video man!
That. Is. Awesome.
My dad sits around watching westerns most of his free time that he's not watching the news. I can empathize with people getting tired of westerns and the channel he watches has a lot of them. Oddly, some of them remind me of game plots and are interesting. One movie reminded me of something from Pokemon Sapphire, since the bad guy had a nautical cave hideout. I guess some of these ideas are older than we think.
*lumbago intensifies*
You forgot about Tahiti.
Indian Chief, “Two Eagles,” was asked by a white government official, “You have observed the white man for 90 years. You’ve seen his wars and his technological advances. You’ve seen his progress, and the damage he’s done.”
The Chief nodded in agreement.
The official continued, “Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?”
The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied. “When white man find land, Indians running it. No taxes, No debt, Plenty buffalo, Plenty beaver, Clean Water; Women did all the work at camp, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; All night [making love to wife.]”
Then the chief leaned back and smiled. “Only white man dumb enough to think he can improve system like that.”
I grew up in the mountains of western Colorado, in an area that was so remote, at the time, it was still considered a frontier area (one doctor for a thousand square miles, nearest store was 45 miles away...which was fun in the winter, nearest hospital was over 50...again, fun in the winter as it could take over three hours to get there in a blizzard as I know from experience, nearest mall was 100 miles away). Some of the oldest folks in town remembered their parents telling them about the pack muletrains going up the mountains to the mines, and maybe not coming back because of accident, or animal attack, or avalanche in the winter. It was an interesting place to grow up, but definitely not as rough as it was in the early days.
I live in Cheyenne, WY. I like our history.
N. Harris people actually live in Wyoming?
@@ididntknowshewas1470 Yeah a few hundred thousand people.

Ah, Cheyenne. Home of the nearest Taco Bell from my house.
I live about 100 miles east of you ☺️
Y‘all mind if i yeehaw?

YEET-HAW
whut in tarnation?? I'll git you fer dis ya varmint!!!
As always, excellent essay my dude.
I love how you guys showed the old mining town of Bodie. Been there twice and it truly is an underrated south west land mark in California
Wild West is New Mexico. Both back then and now.
yep, yep it is
I live in NM and you are kinda right
Wyoming would like to disagree. Our frontier days, Buffalo bill Cody museum, and dispersed low population are testament to that.
(Go to frontier days if you can. Rodeo clowns, cowboys and pancakes for literal days)
shhh
And Texas, and Arizona, Nevada, California, Colorado, Utah, and maybe Kansas and Oklahoma.
