How did advocates of expansionism react to Turner's frontier thesis?

a. They argued Americans should move from rural areas to expand the nation's new frontier—the cities.
b. They argued Congress should enact new protections for America's natural resources to rebuild the frontier.
c. They argued Americans should seek new lands overseas as a "safety valve" to help release popular discontent.
d. They argued Americans should turn away from the culture of the American West and embrace European culture.

Answer 2

I thought it was D, but honestly I have no idea. I read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Significance_of_the_Frontier_in_American_History but it didn't really help

Answer 3

D isn't the right answer. C doesn't make sense. A doesn't make sense. I'd say B.

Answer 4

Thanks!
