In 1890, the U.S. Census Bureau said there was no more frontier. How did

that realization affect the way in which Americans viewed their natural
resources?

One way in which this realization affected the way in which Americans viewed their natural resources was that they now saw them as "limited"--in that Americans began looking to other areas--specifically in the Pacific and Asia--that they could dominate in order to extract resources.
