Who accredited the frontier as the defining element of American individualism?

The Frontier Thesis was first postulated by Frederick Jackson Turner in 1893, in his paper "On the Significance of the Frontier in American History." The core of his argument is that the constant expansion of the frontier broke down old European mindsets and traditions, particularly the aristocracy, by allowing settlers to make their own futures, without having to compete with landowners who could hand their property down from generation to generation. In Europe, most of the land was already owned by relatively few families, who passed it down to their kids. In America, settlers could escape conditions in the East by moving Westward. Jackson Turner was concerned that the closing of the frontier in the 1890s would pose a major danger to American culture and democracy. This is where the Frontier Thesis becomes controversial, since, well, we still have democracy. Some social scientists point out other, non-physical frontiers, such as science, as having a similar effect on society.
