Is nobody seeing the part where it says “in the American west”? Because the Spanish weren’t the first cowboys in the Americas

Vaqueros were a major influence, not the entire origin story. The American cowboy was a blend of Spanish, Mexican, Indigenous, Black, and Anglo traditions

MIANYLA :

The first cowboys were actually the Spaniards the Vacqueros tradition that has its roots in the Iberian Peninsula, and extensively developed in what is today Mexico (then New Spain) from methods brought to the Americas from Spain. The vaquero became the foundation for the North American cowboy, in Northern Mexico, Southwestern United States, Florida and Western Canada.

Developed in Mexico: The specific term vaquero took shape in New Spain (modern-day Mexico) . The earliest vaqueros were primarily Indigenous Mesoamericans trained by the Spaniards to wrangle runaway cattle on horseback

The question is who is the cowboy of the American west now.
