The Frontier

Frederick Jackson Turner “American social development has been continually beginning over again on the frontier. This perennial rebirth, this fluidity of American life, this expansion westward with its new opportunities, its continuous touch with the simplicity of primitive society, furnish the forces dominating American character. The true point of view in the history of the nation is not he Atlantic coast, it is the Great West.” The Significance of the Frontier in American History

Frederick Jackson Turner “But, sir, it is not the increase of population in the West which this gentleman ought to fear. It is the energy which the mountain breeze and western habits impart to those emigrants. They are regenerated, politically I mean, sir. They soon become working politicians, and the difference, sir, between a talking and a working politician is immense…” The Significance of the Frontier in American History

Working Politician? You can draw ties to Jefferson’s vision of yeoman farmers.
