Frontier battles with Native Americans often involved British support for Indigenous groups, leading many American settlers to view the British as an obstacle to their westward expansion. As conflicts intensified, settlers blamed the British for inciting Native resistance, fostering resentment and hostility towards British authorities. This perception strengthened the belief that Britain was undermining American interests and sovereignty, ultimately fueling anti-British sentiment leading up to the Revolutionary War. The struggle for land and autonomy on the frontier became intertwined with the broader quest for independence from British rule.

There are many reasons why people may have chosen to settle on the frontier. They may have disliked city life, wanted to be self sufficient, raise their own food, and live off the land.

Probably their most strategic decesion was to give off defensive and offensive attacks along France and Germany and still be able to defend the western fronteir with France pushing back the Germans, enabling them to have a crushing victory against Axis power.


Why did the permanent Indian fronteir fail?

The concept of a permanent Indian frontier failed primarily due to the continuous expansion of European settlers and the U.S. government's policies that encouraged westward migration. The fluctuating nature of treaties and conflicts with Native American tribes undermined the stability of the frontier. Additionally, economic interests, such as mining and agriculture, further pushed settlers beyond the designated boundaries, leading to increased tensions and violence. Ultimately, the frontier was rendered ineffective as a means of separating settlers from Indigenous populations.


What event added a huge fronteir to the US in 1803?

The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 bought France's claims to the Mississippi River valley. The approximate size of the United States was nearly doubled in reference to land area by the acquisition of the Louisiana territory from France in 1803. The purchase included around 828,800 square miles. The land was purchased for around $11,250,000 USD, but debts by France were also voided, worth about $3,750,000 USD. This made the cost a total of around 15 million dollars (equal to around $219 Million in 2010 dollars) The Louisiana Purchase stretched across a vast blanket of climates and environments, from southern Louisiana to Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana, and also a small portion of southern Canada. The land plot included the Mississippi River on the east and as far west as Idaho and northern New Mexico. These states are present-day landmarks, as the land was virtually uncolonized at the time, its only inhabitants being Native American tribes. Today the tract of land encompasses around 23% of The United States total land area.
