    The traits essential to new life on the frontier included both pragmatism and individualism.

    Explanation:

    In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, waves of Americans left the coast to explore the frontier land out west. In order to be successful in the Western lands, Americans had to often learn to survive the wilderness in foreign terrains and climate (s). Two ideals were central to this new lifestyle: individualism, or the idea of competition for resources between individuals rather than big businesses; and pragmatism, a philosophy of being practical about wants and/or needs while focused on the end goal, using science/logic/reason for knowledge, using words and thoughts for problem solving, and a focus on a changing universe (of successful [outdoors-man] living).
