This book critically examines the two dominant themes in American historiography since 1830: the Frontier Thesis and the National Covenant. The Frontier Thesis, proposed by Frederick Jackson Turner, posits that the American character was shaped by the existence of the frontier, with its opportunities for individualism and self-reliance. The National Covenant, on the other hand, is a Puritan-derived idea that America has a special, divinely ordained mission in the world. Noble explores how these two themes have influenced the way historians have interpreted and written about American history, often to the exclusion of other perspectives. He argues that this has resulted in a narrow, mythologized view of American history that fails to fully engage with the complexities and contradictions of the nation's past.
