Shaping the American Character: The Significance of the Frontier in American History

Frederick Jackson Turner

4.9/5 (14250 ratings)

Description:More than a hundred years after it was first articulated, Frederick Jackson Turner’s “frontier thesis” remains one of the key interpretations of American history. Turner argued that the European heritage of Americans was less important in understanding the country they had made than their own experience in settling a continent. It was the circumstances of life on the frontier—in fact a succession of frontiers that moved inexorably westward—that were a determining influence on American character and institutions. Turner read this paper propounding his thesis at the meeting of the American Historical Association in Chicago, July 12, 1893, as part of the World’s Columbian Exposition. It was timely, he suggested, because the Census of 1890 had announced the closing of the frontier in the United States and thus the end of an important stage of American development.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
