2 A Changing Culture American Culture (1800-1860) By: Nikethana, Sherilyn, Gabrielle

3 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.

4 Immigrants

5 Immigrants - Ireland

6 Immigrants - Germany

7 Immigrants - Nativism

8 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

9 Religion

10 Religion - The Second Great Awakening

11 Religion - Emergence of New Religious Groups

12 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

13 Literary Renaissance

14 Literary Renaissance - Transcendentalism

15 Literary Renaissance - American Writers

16 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

17 Utopian Communities

18 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
