The historic American cowboy of the late 19th century arose from the vaquero traditions of northern Mexico; all the southwest states, including Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas were once part of Mexico and as such, many traditions and cultural traits were inherited from Mexico.

∙ 13y agoColonization influenced Mexico's culture SIGNIFICANTLY on many different levels.
1. Ethnically - As European colonizers mixed with indigenous people, a new ethnicity was born. This process of miscegenation initially created a lot of class divisions in colonial Mexico (the whites were at the top of the pyramid while the darker skinned people were at the bottom).
2. Linguistically - Spanish is the official language of Mexico, but the Spanish spoken in Mexico is very different from the Spanish spoken in Spain. This is partially due to the mingling of different languages (indigenous languages like Nahuatl + European languages) as well as to the borrowing of certain indigenous words. For instance, the name "Mexico" comes from the names of the inhabitants of the Aztec Empire, called the "Mexica people."
3. Religiously - When the colonizers settled in Mexico (or New Spain), they brought with them their religion, Christianity. Through years of evangelization, many indigenous people began to adopt Christianity (either by choice or by compulsion). However, the Mexican version of Christianity varies slightly from the European version. For example, the Mexicans introduced a new saint, the Virgin of Guadeloupe, who had a dark complexion (much like the indigenous people).
4. Artistically - Mexican Folk Music is a product of some indigenous traditions (like the maracas) and some European traditions (like the guitar). Likewise, Mexican art often portrays landscapes or events in a more indigenous style (as shown through their choice in colours, shapes, and abstract).
5. Technologically - The Europeans colonizers introduces steel, gunpowder, horses, and many other new technologically advances into Mexico, which transformed Mexico's economy by making it more "modern."
