Original Note:
False. Blacks were not the first cowboys. While Texas ranchers fought in the war, they depended on their slaves to maintain their land and cattle herds. In doing so, the slaves developed the skills of cattle tending. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/lesser-known-history-african-american-cowboys-180962144/
