Most historical debates about the American West begin with the Turner thesis, presented in 1893. Frederick Jackson Turner argued that "the American character" was forged on the frontier where, he said Euro-Americans encountered the line between "savagery" and "civilization." The New Western historians expanded this view in the 1980s. Nell Irvin Painter and Quintard Taylor showed that African Americans played a great part in settling the West. Patricia Nelson Limerick argued that the West was not a process of transforming the frontier, as Turner asserted, but a place where diverse peoples came into contact - and often conflict - as they pursued their own aspirations for freedom and opportunity.
