Since its discovery, the New World has profoundly influenced the Western thought structure. While the geographical discoveries of the fifteenth century began with the competition of the Western world’s commercial and political power, along with this century, beyond the continental borders, the ocean’s excessive travel has transformed the life of the high walled, closed feudal cities and dynasties of the Middle Ages Europe, and thus the concept of the borders. The exoticism of the unknown geographies, a New World in the imagination of the West, has raised a heavenly impression given to them. In the seventh and eighteenth centuries, the Anglo-Saxon rule, which began as thirteen British colonies on the east coast of North America, began the process of continental spread with the establishment of the United States. This study aims to explore the particular space and boundary perception in the stories of different species that played an important role in the legitimation of American spread in the nineteenth century, and in this context to keep the historical traces of the boundary concept that is continuing through the concept of differences in today's American culture. Thus, among these cultural products that have played an important role in the dissemination that American nationalism and continental spread are the Axial Writing of the Nation, John O'Sullivan's article "The Great Nation of Futurity" (1839), Frederick Jackson Turner's thesis "The Significance of the Frontier in American History" (1893) and Washington Irving's A Tour on the Prairies (1835) and Walt Whitman's "A Passage to India" (1871) autobiography of William Apes's A Son of the Forest (1829) and the 19th century American peasant paintings, Emmanuel Gottlie's "The Significance of the Frontier in American History" (1893) and Albert's "A Tour on the Prairies" (1865) and Albert's "A Passage to India" (1871) autobiography of William Apes.
