The frontier thesis is one of the most influential documents on the American west today.

Some criticized Turner's frontier thesis and the theme of American exceptionalism.

And so far, certainly, the revisionists have not produced a broad, forceful interpretation of the Western past in any way comparable to the "frontier thesis."

A movement was made to recover unheard stories of ordinary people, often by denouncing Turner's Frontier Thesis.

This was a challenge to the frontier thesis of his Harvard colleague Frederick Jackson Turner.

Instead he relied on the Frontier Thesis of Frederick Jackson Turner.

Two theories in particular were influential, the "Frontier Thesis" and the "Sectional Hypothesis".

This prompted Frederick Jackson Turner to develop his Frontier Thesis.

The "frontier thesis" may long ago have lost its allure in other areas of American history, but it retains a perverse hold on students of the West.

Moos (2002) shows that the 1910s to 1940s black filmmaker and novelist Oscar Micheaux incorporated Turner's frontier thesis into his work.
