Early education was scarce and taxation for education was an insurance premium was an insurance premium that the wealthy paid for stability and democracy. Thomas Jefferson once stated that a civilization nation that was both ignorant and free, declared "never was and never will be." Horace Mann was the secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education. He campaigned for better schoolhouses, better school terms, higher teacher pay, and an expanded curriculum. Although Horace Mann pushed for a better and more available education system, it was still only available to the wealthy. Noah Webster and Ohioan William McGuffey were advocates for education as well. This contributed to American society by stressing the importance of getting an education. ]]> 2016-11-20 21:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138967033 ewanersten https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138968399 The Oneida Community was founded in 1848 in New York. It practiced free love, birth control, and eugenic selection of parents to produce superior offspring.

However, Americans had a difficult time finding their certain national flair. Early architects modeled their ideas off the Old World, or model them using Federal Style. The Federal Style originated with the Greek and Roman examples that focused on symmetry, balance, and restraint. Aside from architecture, American painters need not search for their flair. The Hudson River School excelled in romantic art. Literature also began to blossom in American culture. Romanticism was conceived as a reaction against the hyper-rational Enlightenment. This emphasized imagination over reason, nature over civilization, intuition over circulation, and self over society. By incorporating ideas from European nations, Americans began to find what they felt right with and found themselves as a nation thorough art, song, architecture, and literature. ]]> 2016-11-20 22:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138970442 ewanersten https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138971510 2016-11-20 23:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138971510 ewanersten https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138971565 2016-11-20 23:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138971565 ewanersten https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138971659 2016-11-20 23:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138971659 ewanersten https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138971697 The first excerpt blatantly mocks the Seneca Falls Convention stating that "it requires no argument to prove that this is wrong," referring to their Declaration of Sentiments. The second excerpt is in favor of the reform that the women are pushing for. He states that the writer's views in the previous excerpt are outdated. ]]> 2016-11-20 23:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138971697 ewanersten https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138971996 The First Great Awakening was the sudden outbreak of religion that swept through the colonies. This event helped to unite the colonies. The Second Great Awakening was a series of religious revivals based on Methodism and Baptism. These revivals were based on religious philosophy of salvation and tolerance for all religious sectors. Both are similar because they dealt with religion and because they helped to unify groups. Both are different because the reason for the First Great Awakening was because many were upset with the Church of England and wanted to practice elsewhere. The credited "founder" of the First Great Awakening was Jonathan Edwards who had very Puritan views. The Second Great Awakening's founder Charles Finney, supported many reform movements including prison reform and women's rights. Neither of these would have been considered for reform during the time of the First Great Awakening. Also, as a result of the Second Great Awakening, many other religious groups emerged such as the Mormons and Seventh-Day Adventists. ]]> 2016-11-20 23:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138971996 ewanersten https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138980886 2016-11-21 01:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138980886 ewanersten https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138980926 2016-11-21 01:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ewanersten/t1p3jyyfk3mx/wish/138980926
