Welcome back from our long weekend!  Today in class we will be discussing the concept of the frontier and an important 19th century American historian, Frederick Jackson Turner.  This is a bit of an historiography lesson as well as a history lesson.  The concept of the frontier is important for the late 19th century and the impact of its "closing" is equally significant to the landscape of modern America!  Below you will find our agenda, homework, and resources for the day.

Objective:

2.The development of the frontier led to a decreasing dependence on England

3.The existence of a frontier motivated Americans to quickly develop their country

4.The frontier experience caused Americans to be more democratic than members of other societies
