The Spaniards imported cattle in the 1500s. By 1850 these cattle interbred with English cattle to produce the Longhorn, which thrived in Texas. Eastern cities needed beef and Texas had a surplus. To move 1000 head of cattle it took 7 mounted cowboys to handle the cattle drives, but economically it was worth it. In 1866 a steer cost $4 in Texas and sold in the East for $40 a head, which reflected inflated pricing, but many took advantage of it to make money.

Tasya [4]
It could be considered as a key to the USA'S success. Back then we needed immigrants in order to build our nation. We were once immigrants to. So without the whole idea of immigration, the U.S might not have turned out as well as it did.
