On November 22, 1963, President John F. was assasinated by a serious injury caused by 3 shots of a firearm. This incident was very shocking not only for culture but also for American politics. The country was forced to face a forced transition from one government to another, in addition to facing the national trauma of witnessing a murder.
The American West was indeed a land of great opportunity from 1865 to 1900 in the sense that there was an abundance of land and resources available to all those willing to go west.
