The Wild West or American Frontier as it's thought of in the public conscious is loosely during the period between 1840 up until about 1900. Westerns are films that take place during this period.
>when was it wild
Depends on the territory and year.
>what is a cowboy
In the strictest sense they were ranch hands or cattle drivers living out on the range. Broadly the term became associated with anybody wearing a certain type of hat. Cowboys v Indians in reality is more Rangers v Indians.

how much actual action is there in Deadwood? I watched a couple of eps when I was a kid and seem to remember that there was just a whole lot of talking

depends what you mean by "action"
there's not really any big shootouts if that's your idea of it
when people die on the show it's usually very sudden, and I think more characters die by knife than by gunshot

So almost all white american people from that era? Anyway most of them don't even have cowboy boots. And what's even more confusing, Woody from Toy Story is a cowboy but he's also a sheriff.

Allowing nonwhites onto the internet was a terrible mistake.

technically all movies are set before or after the civil war.
