Frederick Jackson Turner is considered the founding father of Western history, for his lecture "The Significance of the Frontier in American History" (1893).

Explanation:

In it, he stated that it was the westward movement that best defined the United States, meaning that the exceptional character of the American nation was given by the life in the frontier, the westbound journey of pioneers from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast.

Turner understood that the free land, its endless recession, a mixed-race and the advancement of settlements to the west, are main factors in American development.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
