Meine Zusammenfassung zur Frontier:
- dividing line/meeting point between savagery and civilization
- the colonists: crossing a continent and winnig a wilderness
- developing out of primitive economic and political conditions into complex city life
- social development began over and over again at the frontier
- little by little, the colonist transforms the wilderness
- a steady movement away from the influence of Europe
- development of a new American identity (because of being faced with primitive conditions, the wilderness, challenge to master these conditions and establish a civilization again and again)
- the frontier symbolizes the challenge when turning the Wild West into an American civilization
--> this formed the American values and character trades.
