The Code of the West

The Code of the West was bullshit in some ways, but here it is explained on this website. (https://www.legendsofamerica.com/we-codewest/

I described it as I did because the Code often did not prevent the murder of non-whites or the disdain for their rights. It did not prevent the wholesale slaughter of the buffalo (bison). Aside from that, it served well for the frontier, before civilization and written down laws took hold. My characters mostly uphold that Code. The ones who don't do not fare very well.
