Louis Armstrong sings about the nature surrounding him. He expresses the beauty of it and also say he "thinks to himself, what a wonderful world". The way he says that relates to solitude, which is keeping to your self and enjoying nature and its beauty. That is what transcendentalism is all about. Thoreau writes, he always goes to the woods for an open mind to be formed. Living with an open mind makes life so dear.

" I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front
only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had
to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I
wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted
to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life."(lines 26-31)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

"What a Wonderful World" was written in 1968 during the time of the Vietnam War. Performed in the genre of jazz, it was written and composed to try and bring hope to the millions of victims suffering the effects of the war like the loss of the many loved fathers, sons and husbands and the "half cast" children who were sent away from their Vietnamese mothers to a foreign land with foreign people.

"After a night’s sleep the
news is as indispensable as the breakfast. “Pray tell me any thing new
that has happened to a man any where on this globe,”—and he reads
it over his coffee and rolls, that a man has had his eyes gouged out this
morning on the Wachito River; never dreaming the while that he lives
in the dark unfathomed mammoth cave of this world, and has but the
rudiment of an eye himself."(lines 75-81) Thoreau

On page 209 Thoreau is talking about how people only do a lot of things to socialize. He gives the example that when the fire bell is ringing people not only rush out to save there land but to say that they were there and experienced it. Doing all of this he exaggerates how much we are all in each others bushiness, to explain his life of solitude.

Romanticism was a movement of the art and literature. People would emphasize their inspirations in their daily life through literature. It showed their primacy of being an individual. Transcendentalism is a bit different, people would emphasize the confidence in their intuition. More citizens were self reliant and didn't need a government or an inspiration to guide them. Everyone had some sort of appreciation towards nature, tried to break away from technology, and advances in society. Everyone was their own true individual.

The Market Revolution had Americans moving away from producing items for themselves on farms. Instead, Americans began to produce goods for others to make profit, but that meant there was going to be competition. It was difficult for farmers and merchants to sell because selling locally did not get them enough money, they wanted to sell to England and other countries but they needed a way of transportation. The steam boat was invented for easier transportation of the goods. They had also built a commercial railroad reaching Baltimore to Ohio, it was thirty thousand miles worth of rails.  Transcendentalists were trying to redefine freedom to change the world.  Transcendentalism was to give them more freedom, but the market revolution left them with much less freedom than they already had before.
