“Frontier”
Frontier Thesis
The Frontier Thesis was developed by Frederick Turner. It implies that the American vitality comes from the definition of the American frontier. According to the thesis, the frontier creates freedom, what constantly named as civilisation.
The first settlers arrived in the 17th century on the east coast and behaved themselves like Europeans. The next generation moved further inland and some more European characters, which were no longer useful, have been discarded. The further the settlers moved westwards, the more they became American. They became more democratic and hierarchy became less acceptable. They got more American features.
Turner’s Thesis explains the difference between the Americans or the American government and the European one. It also explains the steady expanding of the U.S. overseas.
