United States History

How has the frontier shaped American history? For this answer, be sure to define what you mean by the word frontier, and then elaborate on its connections to several developments in American history including (but not limited to) political institutions, social relations, ideas about race, and economic change from the colonial era to 1865. In addition to earlier course readings, please consult the following additional resources for your paper (although you don’t necessarily have to cite from all of them). Your essay must draw only from assigned course readings, however, and each paragraph must contain multiple citations as support for your ideas. The essay should be in APA format with title, abstract, and reference page.  The body should be between 6-8 pages, double spaced 12 point font.
