The Significance of the Frontier in American History
Frederick Jackson Turner
The “Turner thesis” states that Americans are indeed exceptional and that the frontier is the cause of our talents. Frederick Jackson Turner wrote The Significance of the Frontier in American History in 1920. Have the last hundred years (and the closing of the frontier) changed that? Leigh and P. T. examine the theory and try to assess its importance today.
