New York City was by far more dangerous than the wildest of the wild west towns.
Also, about 20% of cowboys were African American.
The James Gang are knowns as western outlaws, but they mostly operated in the Midwest and South, rarely venturing further west than Missouri, and robbing banks as far south and east as Kentucky, Mississippi, and Alabama.

From the book Titan.
"Rumors soon drifted about town that John (Rockefeller) had taken away the girl's virginity. Whatever the truth, the Millers a raised an unholy ruckus about the romance. In one of the less prophetic judgements in parental history, they argued that they didn't want their daughter to throw herself away on a young man with such poor prospects."

Lincoln was the 19th century version of Obama. He pretty much shite on the constitution and waited for Congress to recess to abuse his power unopposed.
And Doctor Emmett Brown invented the first ice machine and time machine from a locomotive.

Bill Compton was a southern plantation owner, who happened to be the only person in the USA at the time who looked at race with complete unbias. He later became a vampire. He now resides in a small town outside Monroe, Louisiana with his young girlfriend Sookie.
His best friend is Eric Northman, whom he met in the early '90's. But Mr. Northman, unlike Mr. Compton, is a badass mother fricker who is over 2,000 years old and hopefully will kill every other person in that town, except for his almost equally awesome ladyfriend Pam.
