Accepted Answer

Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America detailed his extended visit to the United States and his observations about the society that he found there. His perception of the highly developed democracy in the nation helped define not only American abroad, but also its own sense of itself a growing, democratic nation. Although written by a Frenchman, it remains one of the most significant works on American democracy in the 19th century.

Accepted Answer

The journey of Lewis and Clark and the samples of plant and animal species that they sent back helped generate interest in the American west and the expansion of American culture.

Accepted Answer

The United States supported Mexico in the fledgling stages of its independence, so there was little tension between the two nations at this time, though international relations with Mexico deteriorated in the mid-1830s. The Era of Good Feelings was a period of stability and unity in the U.S. following the Napoleonic wars. This era coincided with Monroe's presidency and also included significant expansion, both in the West and through the acquisition of Florida.

Accepted Answer

The Great Awakening was a religious revival that emerged in the 1730s and 1740s, although it would wax and wane throughout much of the 18th century. Mormonism began in the 1820s, and Puritanism was largely in the 17th century. This intense religious fervor marked an affirmation of belief in the divine as Enlightenment thought became increasingly visible in public culture.

Question 8

Bill of Rights&#10;&#10;-Which of the following is considered a predominantly American philosophical movement?&#10;A)Transcendentalism&#10;B)Atheism&#10;C)Modernism&#10;D)Stoicism&#10;E)Realism

Accepted Answer

Transcendentalism, although adopted by some British writers, was predominantly an American intellectual movement. This movement encouraged original thinking and was critical of industrialism. It also focused on the materialism that characterized the growth of consumer culture. Transcendentalism sprang from a group of scholars in New England, including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.

Question 9

Bill of Rights&#10;&#10;-James Fennimore Cooper's portrayal of Native Americans was noteworthy because:&#10;A)He accurately represented Native American dialects.&#10;B)They were viewed as admirable and closer to nature.&#10;C)He often envisioned their culture as dominate.&#10;D)His graphic portrayals of the attacks on the plains inhibited Westward expansion.&#10;E)He suggested that they assimilated will into urban life.

Accepted Answer

James Fennimore Cooper's wrote novels that romanticized Native American life, portraying them as admirable and closer to nature. As industrialism began and cities sprang up, the celebration of nature that characterized the Transcendentalists emerged in other aspects of culture. Cooper's Native American characters were not the enemies or barbarians of previous representations in American literature. However, Cooper lived in New England, which was largely devoid of Native Americans by the time he wrote his novels.

Question 10

Bill of Rights&#10;&#10;-Henry David Thoreau incorporated which of the following characteristics in his seminal work Walden?&#10;A)Industrialism&#10;B)Manifest Destiny&#10;C)Individualism&#10;D)Progressivism&#10;E)Existentialism

Accepted Answer

Thoreau's Walden highlighted the importance of individualism. His documentation of the time he spent living along on Walden Pond was a testimony to self-reliance and appreciation for nature, both of which were key features of the Transcendentalist movement. Thoreau's emphasis on independence would help establish this quality of one of the key characteristics of American identity.
