Withоut а nаtive mythоlоgy, Americа had to manufacture its heroes. Thus, when America turned one hundred years old, the American media created a suitably heroic model in the cowboys of the Wild West. The image was of the steely-eyed cattle drivers living a life of reckless individualism, braving the elements, fighting off brutal Indian attacks; or of heroic lawmen dueling with sixguns in the streets at high noon. This image became so powerful that it entered the American political mentality. In fact, it shaped the images of Presidents Teddy Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and Ronald Reagan. However, the heyday of the cowboy lasted only about twenty years, from 1867 to 1887, and wasn’t as glamorous or as roman-tically dangerous as it had been portrayed. The modern politicians’ comparison of drug-ravaged urban streets to the Wild West does a disservice to the West. The famed cow and mining towns of Tombstone, Abilene, Dodge City, and Deadwood had fewer shootouts and killings in their combined history than modern Washington, D.C., has in a few months. Choose the statement below that most logically supports the above passage.
