Date: 2021-02-17

This is the fourth of four parts of my second chapter/lecture for my US History II course. Like the first, it deals with the final decades of the 19th century; but this time from the perspective of how the West influenced American ideas about our role in the world. This part covers cowboys, Wild West shows, and Frederick Jackson Turner's Frontier Thesis.
