A Changing Culture American Culture ( ) By: Nikethana, Sherilyn, Gabrielle
Main Argument The growing number of immigrants, diversity in religion, and common themes of literature weakened the unity of America and defied the theme of equality incorporated in the Constitution.
Immigrants
Immigrants - Ireland

Immigrants - Nativism
Immigrants - Immigrant population was divided - Increasing number of immigrants created more racial subgroups - Even though America was regarded as a "nation of immigrants", immigrants still faced prejudice and discrimination after their arrival in America
Religion
Religion - The Second Great Awakening
Religion - Emergence of New Religious Groups
Religion - Faith in God was weakening as science became prominent and created different perspectives based on the same religion - New forms of worship were introduced by immigrants - Strong anti-Catholic attitudes were developed by Americans - More subgroups were created, based on religion/beliefs - Bible started that all were equal but many Americans did not abide by this statement, creating a gap between what they practiced and what they preached
Literary Renaissance
Literary Renaissance - Transcendentalism
Literary Renaissance - American Writers
Literary Renaissance - Romanticism encouraged the individual's opinions over society's - The progression of the literary renaissance further encouraged people to have their own sense of individuality rather than attaining equality as a whole region
Utopian Communities
Conclusion - Although the change in culture as a result of diverse immigrants, religion, and literature weakened the unity of America, eventually the American citizens grew to tolerate and appreciate these changes - This created a more accepting and united nation
