History

Cattle towns, also known as “cow towns,” were midwestern frontier settlements that catered to the cattle industry. The economies of these communities were heavily dependent on the seasonal cattle drives from Texas, which brought the cowboys and the cattle that these towns relied upon.[1]<span> Cattle towns were found at the junctions of railroads and livestock trails. These towns were the destination of the cattle drives, the place where the cattle would be bought and shipped off to urban meatpackers, midwestern cattle feeders, or to ranchers on the central or northern plains.</span>[1]<span> Cattle towns were made famous by popular accounts of rowdy cowboys and outlaws who were kept under control by local lawmen, but those depictions were mostly exaggeration and myth.</span>

Was sharecropping a good way to survive
Elanso [62]

no because it kept poor people in debt and they almost always owed the landowner money for things such as food, clothing, farm supplies, and medicine. It made it hard for poor farmers to save money and provide a good life for their families.
