Wanted Dead or Alive: Is the Frontier Myth and its rhetoric alive in the Modern United States Presidencies?:
The Frontier Myth has been around for a long time and has been well researched. It is very similar to a creation myth and, since the Theodore Roosevelt presidency, it has been used to explain history to Americans. It is based on the idea that America's experience of the American frontier made Americans unique and exceptional. This analysis investigates the period after the Vietnam War. Specifically, it focuses on the presidency after the war. These are the presidencies of Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. The analysis will focus on the Frontier Myth rhetoric and imagery used during these presidencies to show that the Frontier Myth is still alive and a reliable, viable way for presidents to explain policy. The main sources used for this rhetoric is an archive of presidential speeches, editorial political cartoons, and photographs.
