Any high school American History teachers out there? Can anyone give me a summary of how the law and justice system would be structure in an American Frontier town mid-late 1800s? Some of my specific questions:
-Who would appoint a sheriff? Would they need to have any specific qualifications?
-How would the judicial system work? Would a judge be involved for a dispute over the authenticity of a will?
-What role did the town mayor play in the legal system/law enforcement.
Feel free to point me in the direction of a good website if you know of one!
Thanks
