The last area of the western frontier to be settled was the Oklahoma Territory, particularly during the Land Rush of 1889. This event allowed settlers to claim land previously occupied by Native American tribes, marking a significant push into the unclaimed territories of the U.S. The settlement of Oklahoma effectively symbolized the closing of the American frontier, as it represented the final large-scale influx of settlers into previously uninhabited lands. By 1907, Oklahoma became a state, solidifying its status as the last frontier of the West.

As settlers began to claim Indian lands in the South, tensions escalated between Native American tribes and European settlers, leading to violent conflicts such as the Creek War and the Seminole Wars. The U.S. government often sided with settlers, implementing policies that forced Native Americans from their ancestral lands through treaties, many of which were made under duress. This encroachment resulted in significant loss of life, culture, and territory for Indigenous peoples, culminating in the tragic Trail of Tears, where thousands were forcibly relocated. The settlers' expansion also contributed to the broader narrative of westward expansion and Manifest Destiny in the United States.
White settlers in the Northwest Territory were primarily brought in by various colonial and federal policies, including the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which encouraged settlement and land acquisition. Additionally, individuals and groups such as the Ohio Company actively promoted migration to the region. This influx often led to conflicts with Native American tribes, as settlers encroached on lands traditionally inhabited by Indigenous peoples.

The frontier was threatened due to a combination of factors, including increasing westward expansion, industrialization, and the encroachment of settlers on Indigenous lands. This led to conflicts over resources and territory, undermining traditional Indigenous ways of life. Additionally, environmental changes and economic pressures further strained the frontier regions, making them vulnerable to exploitation and conflict. The culmination of these factors ultimately disrupted the balance between settlers and Indigenous populations, leading to significant social and political upheaval.
