6. Can you explain the continuities and changes in American art, architecture, and literature from 1790 to 1860?
Architecturally, America chose to imitate Old World styles rather than create indigenous ones. Early national builders articulated a plain Federal Style of architecture that borrowed from classical Greek and Roman examples and emphasized symmetry, balance, and restraint. Public buildings incorporated a neoclassical vocabulary of columns, domes, and pediments to republican experiment.

5. After you have read "Contending Voices: The Role of Women", can you analyze both excerpts' intended audience, purpose, and the point of view?
The first passage's intended audience was the rest of the public. They were trying to inform the public about the movements that were going on during the time. Their point was to make that women who are fighting for their rights are simply wrong. The point of view was mostly likely bias coming from a white male. The second passage's intended audience was most likely the women that are constructing the movements. The purpose of the passage was to respond to the first passage. The point of view seemed to be sort of bias but actually had evidence to back up their argument.

3. Why did America produce so many reform and utopian movements? What did they contribute to American culture?
America produced so many reform and  utopian movements because they wanted to reorder society and create a better way of life. What they contributed to American culture was the transcendentalists movement, the Shakers who made a redefinition of traditional sexuality and gender roles central to their society and created a society that was separated and protected from chaos. They made America a more diverse country, brought change and expressed the ideas of freedom to the American Culture, and they gave Americans new ideas and views towards religion, women rights, prison punishment, imprisonment due to debt, and criminal codes.

2. Was the "new family" a progressive reflection of American democratic ideals, or a restriction on them?
It was a progressive reflection because the women were viewed as real people. They still had no political voice, they had a voice through their support of movements and the raising of their children. Many women began to view the home as a cage and wanted to combine the private world of women with the public world of men. Also families were beginning to have fewer children. This meant they were spending more time making kids independent individuals. However, they were not spoiling kids. The children were being viewed as the "future".

1. Were the "cult of domesticity" and the rise of the child-centered family signs of an improvement or a restriction in women's status and condition?
The improvements were only wealthy women were able to stay at home before, class no longer a barrier even with a modest income, smaller families, children were taught to be more independent, and punishment ideals were no longer about the hickory switch. The restrictions were the worlds of home and work are separate, women less likely to engage in family businesses, ignorance of the fact that some women had to work whether they liked it or not, women who worked were considered "unladylike", and the female status was lowered to unpaid and unappreciated labor.
