Frederick Jackson Turner is best known for his "Frontier Thesis," which argued that the American frontier shaped the nation's character and democracy. While he didn't directly engage in reform movements, his ideas influenced the Progressive Era by encouraging Americans to consider the role of the frontier in shaping social and political reforms. Turner's work prompted discussions about American identity and the need for reform to address the challenges of urbanization and industrialization. His emphasis on the frontier's impact helped frame debates around social progress and reform during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
