The discussion post helped a lot in understanding the problems that each frontier presents to Texas. As you identified in your post that the two frontiers were Mexican-American border and Native-American border I also agree with you that there still exists a tension on the Texas-Mexico border due to the Mexican-American war. Besides the tension on the border, racial tension was also growing between Anglos and Tejanos. On the other hand, the problems that Native- American border was extremely severe as compared with the Mexican-American border. This was because Indians continued to raid white settlement. They were killing white people, especially in central Texas. I also agree with you that it is better to live on the Mexican-American frontier. I would also prefer to live on Southern Texas frontier. Although several issues still persist on the Mexican-American borders and even Indians raids this area as well, it is a lot safer than Native-American frontier where Indians kill people.

The discussion post explained the discussion question in a way that helps the reader in understanding the problems that each frontier presents to Texas. As per your post you mentioned that the two frontiers were Northern frontier and Southern frontier. I would also like to add that the Northern frontier consists of a Native-American border while the Southern frontier consists of a Mexican-American border. A major problem that the northern frontier presented to Texas was Indians raiding white settlements. I also agree with you that this issue still persists and Indians still attack white people. In contrast, after the Mexican-American war, there is a huge tension in the Southern frontier. I completely agree with you that living on the Southern frontier is a lot safer than living on the Northern frontier. I also prefer to live at Southern Frontier because living here will protect me from Indians raids. Also, Mexico police handle all the raids so living at the southern frontier is a good option.
