The Frontier was a location generated by the Animus, representing the areas in the North American countryside visited by Haytham Kenway and Ratonhnhaké:ton.
During the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War, the countryside of Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey was slowly settled by colonial hunters and traders as the fur pelts of American animals were in high demand in England and France.
