Frederick Jackson Turners view Towards Native Americans in the Frontier
|
|
|
“The existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement westward explain American development”, exclaimed Frederick Jackson Turner in his 1893 frontier thesis of American history. Turner clearly explained in his famous thesis how Americans were moving west to claim “free land” for farming. ... Turner failed to clarify in his essay was how Native Americans fit into the frontier? ... The Native Americans had been living on this “free land” for hundreds of years and all of a sudden, it was being given away to settlers! ...
In his thesis, Frederick Turner seems to ignore the presence of the numerous Indian peoples whose defeat was required by the nations westward march, and assumed that the bulk of newly acquired lands were actually democratically distributed to yeomen pioneers.
