The Frontier as a Place of Ethnic and Religion Conflict by Patricia Nelson Limerick

This led to the violence of men looking for wealth and work. "Wyoming Shootout: Attack on Chinatown, 1885", Hon. Huang Siquan reports how a group of white men formed rock springs to drive out the land of the People's Republic of China, kill Chinese men on the street of China Town and survived the building to kill others I did (46). Rock Springs is a lot of people who accuse the Chinese because of lack of employment opportunities. They can not raise wages because they insist that Chinese people are less motivated to work than white people.

In the "conquest of heritage" published in 1987, many of the recent Western historians such as Patricia Nelson Limerick cast doubt on the story about the white progress of Turner's border (see See the abstract). Instead, she studied the experiences of other groups across the border, such as Mexicans, Native Americans, Asians, and the suffering of their exploitation and the hands of Western white settlers. She believes that these groups were pushed aside by white settlers. Historians question whether the movement of the western side of Caucasi represents noncooperative progress or impose distress or restrictions on other groups.

Patricia Limerick focuses on the possibilities of religious and ethnic conflict with various ethnic groups living in the West and diversity. Her argument is that the introduction of new religions and people's immigrants are the fundamental cause of the conflict between the different groups living in the west. She believes that the frontier is a way to cause conflict between different races and different religious beliefs. African Americans, Asians, Indians and Hispanics are considered inferior to Caucasians. Furthermore, there is a conflict between these "inferior" groups. For example, Indians and Asians are better than blacks and believe they are comparable to whites. Limerick thinks "... Indians and Asians are better than black people, are they more civilized?" (51). Therefore, the diversity of bordering people will increase conflict. As a result, the race, which is considered to be inferior, also reaffirmed the intensification of western conflict.
