Answer 2

Reality:

• Cowboys were Mexican and African American, as well as White.
• Cowboys worked long, hard days for low wages.

Myth:

• Cowboys were lone adventurers.
• Cowboys were free to go where they pleased and do what they wanted.

Step-by-step explanation:

The romanticized view of cowboys doesn't reflect the fact that cowboys worked long days for low wages, and it's not widely known that many cowboys were Mexican and African American. It's a myth that cowboys were lone adventurers, and they could do what they wanted, wherever they wanted.
