SUMMARY
The American Frontier includes the geography, history, folklore, and cultural expression of life in the wave of American expansion that began with the English colonies in the early 17th century and ended with the admission of last territories of the continent as states in 1912. / "Border /" refers to a contrasting region located on the edge of a line of Euro-American colonization. American historians span multiple boundaries, but folklore focuses primarily on the conquest and settlement of Native American lands west of the Mississippi River, in what is now the Midwest, Texas, the Great Plains, the Mountains Rocky Mountains, the Southwest and the West Coast. .
In 19th and early 20th century media, enormous popular attention focused on the Western United States in the second half of the 19th century, a period sometimes referred to as the "Old West" or the "Wild West ". These media typically exaggerated the romance, anarchy, and chaotic violence of the era for greater dramatic effect. This ultimately inspired the Western film genre, which spread into comic books, as well as children's toys, games, and costumes. This era of mass migration and settlement was particularly encouraged by President Thomas Jefferson after the Louisiana Purchase, giving rise to the expansionist philosophy known as "Manifest Destiny."
As Hine and Faragher define it, “border history tells the story of the creation and defense of communities, land use, market development, and state formation. /", they explain: "It is a story of conquest, but also of survival, of persistence and the fusion of the peoples and cultures that gave birth and continued life to America./" Via treaties with foreign nations and native tribes; political compromise; establishing law and order; building trails and digging mines; of foreigners, the United States expanded from coast to coast, fulfilling the dreams of Manifest Destiny Historian Frederick Jackson Turner, in his “Frontier Thesis” (1893), posited the. The hypothesis that the frontier was a process that transformed Europeans into a new people, Americans, whose values focused on equality, democracy, and optimism, as well as individualism, self-dependence. , even violence. Thus, Turner's frontier thesis proclaimed the westward frontier to be the defining process of American history.
As the American frontier faded into history, myths of the West in fiction and film became firmly ingrained in the imaginations of Americans and foreigners alike. According to David Murdoch, America is "exceptional" in choosing its iconic image of itself: "No other nation has taken a time and place from its past and produced a construction of imagination equal to the American creation of the West. » "
