I agree with the New Western historians concerning who has a better argument about Turner's thesis. I agree with the statement that says the West was conquered, not just tamed. The whites that tried to expand out west conquered the Indians. They forced them onto reservations and tried to get them all to go along with white customs and values. They also tried to teach them English. The may have thought that they only "tamed" them, but really, they conquered them. I also agree with them when they said that the west is a unique part of the country.
(I'm not quite sure if those two points really had to do with the thesis presented by Turner, but they were two things that were talked about in the varying viewpoints section.)
