Recalling the Anthem
What defines us as Americans? How does the election of Jackson lead to a new idea of
democracy, populism and democratic leadership? How did Native American issues affect future growth
of the U.S.? How and why did slavery spread? Who has more power? States or Federal government? How could America be better for the average person? How did technology affect the growth of this nation? How does manifest destiny shape an American
character?
Nationalism--Conclusions
The U.S. began to develop a modern democracy and celebrated a new national culture, while Americans sought to define the nation’s democratic ideals and change their society and institutions to match them.
Innovations in technology, agriculture, and commerce powerfully accelerated the American economy, precipitating profound changes to U.S. society and to national and regional identities.
The U.S. interest in increasing foreign trade and expanding its national borders shaped the nation’s foreign policy and spurred government and private initiatives.

Expansion of slavery into western territories?
“Who we are is who we were.”J.Q. Adams
In 1839, there was a rebellion of slaves captured from Africa on the Spanish ship, Amistad.
These slaves overtook the ship and killed several Spanish sailors.
An American ship later captured Amistad and brought it to New London, Connecticut with around fifty African men and women.
The Amistad Case
There was a trial to determine if the “property” of Spain should be returned or if these people should be returned to their home of origin.
After the court decided in favor of the rebels, President Martin Van Buren, concerned with Southern anxieties over the decision, appealed the case to the Supreme Court. Out of nine justices, seven were Southern slave holders.
The abolitionist sponsors of the first case appealed to Congressman and Former President John Quincy Adams to speak for the Amistad captives.
View and listen to the film segment and focus on the argument of the defense and the final decision of the highest United States Court.
How did Adams use history for his side?
Marshall Court, 1801-1835—led by Chief Justice John Marshall (remember Marbury v. Madison)
Focused on a strong central government
Promoted business
Upheld supremacy of federal legislation over state legislation
Supreme Court
Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 1819—protected contracts from state law
Worcester v. Georgia, 1831—upheld rights of Cherokees in Georgia—led to Jackson’s Indian Removal Act and Trail of Tears
Cases
The Liberator, 1831 (Garrison’s abolitionist newspaper)
Democracy in America, 1835 (Alexis De Tocqueville’s work on American individualism)
The Hudson River School, mid 1800s (group of artists led by Thomas Cole—America’s beauty through landscapes—1st American school of art)
McGuffey Readers, 1836 (reading instruction book—poems, stories, essays with patriotic themes promoting moral values)
“Civil Disobedience”, 1849 (Thoreau’s essay opposing Mexican War and injustice)
The Arts
The Scarlet Letter, 1850 --Hawthorne’s novel on legacy of Puritanism
Leaves of Grass, 1855 --Walt Whitman’s poems glorifying nature over reason
Uncle Tom’s Cabin, 1852—Stowe’s anti-slavery novel

II. Major authors—Poe, Emerson Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, Whitman, Longfellow, Emily Dickinson, Margaret Fuller (transcendentalist journal editor)
III. “Who we are, is who we were.” J.Q. Adams
American Renaissance c. 1840-65(“Birth of American Culture”)
Emotional and exaggerated story-telling—often dark and scary
Literature, music and art
Examples: Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Hawthorne’s House of Seven Gables, anything by Poe, Melville’s Moby Dick
This style coincided with a growth of spiritualism—an interest in contacting “the other side”—followed in Europe and America
(Mary Todd Lincoln)
Elements of Romanticsm
It was many and many a year ago,In a kingdom by the sea,That a maiden there lived whom you may knowBy the name of Annabel Lee;And this maiden she lived with no other thoughtThan to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,In this kingdom by the sea:But we loved with a love that was more than love - I and my Annabel Lee;With a love that the winged seraphs of heavenCoveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,In this kingdom by the sea,A wind blew out of a cloud, chillingMy beautiful Annabel Lee;So that her high-born kinsmen cameAnd bore her away from me,To shut her up in a sepulchreIn this kingdom by the sea.
Annabel Lee E.A. Poe
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,Went envying her and me - Yes! that was the reason (as all men know,In this kingdom by the sea)That the wind came out of the cloud one night,Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the loveOf those who were older than we - Of many far wiser than we - And neither the angels in heaven above,Nor the demons down under the sea,Can ever dissever my soul from the soulOf the beautiful Annabel Lee;
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreamsOf the beautiful Annabel Lee;And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyesOf the beautiful Annabel Lee;And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the sideOf my darling -my darling -my life and my bride,In the sepulchre there by the sea - In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Social Movements—1812-1860
“Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant BUSINESS.”
Henry David Thoreau(says the man who owned a pencil
factory)
