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 17^th 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.

I would add new post to list what I had done for the day and call your attention to the pages I’d uploaded.

The blog only offers me a space to store all my learning materials. Some of them are written by myself and I would love to receive your comments on them!

There are two days left until the Klausur. I hope I could get pretty many things together:D
