Answer the following questions
Give a general statement about why we even should care to know about Daniel Boone.
Daniel Boone was a good man in the wild American frontier: he was brave, strong, courageous, adventurous and dutiful. He may never have learned much in school, but he received an education in frontier life that he used to help many people who wished to settle in Kentucky and other parts of the Midwest.
2. Tell about early childhood and young adult events that molded his character and set him on life direction....
Tell about education and family conditions.
Daniel's father was a good role model for Daniel because he stood by the family and supported them. He also made it clear that Daniel's gift was to be a skilled hunter and that schooling was less important than being able to survive in the wilderness.

3. What were any special points of decision or turning point that enabled him to become outstanding in his career path? what made him unique? Were there any crises that disrupted his life plan? Were there events that seemed to be God's guidance and blessing?
The turning point for Daniel came when he moved to Kentucky and became a frontiersman, guiding people through trails and helping them acquire land, and defending them against Indian attacks. What made him unique was his fearlessness and incredible ability to know the layout of the land as well as his fidelity to others.

AMERICA: Frederick Turner vs. Oscar Handlin America through the lens of Turner was essentially a world that grew out of the frontier.

Turner's vision of America was one in which the country's character grew up organically out of the pioneer spirit. It had nothing to do with England or Puritanism or
" In other words, republicanism in an expanding state would inevitably lead to more despotic, aristocratic, and monarchical regimes. Hence, if the U.S. were to follow a policy of expansion, it would, at least, theoretically conflict with its republican origins. Interestingly, one of the leading proponents of republicanism, Thomas Jefferson had become the third U.S. President after an unexpected electoral crisis in the elections of 1800.
