This chapter explores the intricate relationship between American expansionism and the nation's identity, rooted in Frederick Jackson Turner's theories. It examines how ideas of individualism and exceptionalism have evolved, often intertwined with the oppression of marginalized communities and changing political landscapes. The discussion critiques contemporary implications of these historical narratives, especially in light of recent political movements and their impact on American ideology and foreign policy.
