Chapter 8– A fair view of slavery’s development in America (specifically the South) and eventual stubborn entrenchment by the mid 1830s. Accurately compared to Europe’s feudal system. After that, polite discussion became near impossible. Goes to show that greed and love of money/commerce do not lead to good ends. Surprised at how proslavery arguments mirrored Marxism

Chapter 7– Covers the forming (and fomenting) American culture movements. Mainly religious, philosophical, and literary. Second Great Awakening. Evangelism. Utopian communities. Transcendentalism, a branch from Europe’s Romanticism; reaction to the Enlightenment, Protestantism, and Unitarianism. Enjoyed learning about American authors—ie Emerson, Hawthorne, Melville.

Chapter 5– a new Constitution, Federalists and Anti-Federalists and how they defined a nation, the first two presidencies of Washington and Adams. The play between American sentiments, and what America would be.
Chapter 6– Jefferson’s presidency, war & expansion, Good Feelings, to Jackson. Two ideas of democracy. Rational hesitancy. Flaws and virtues well presented.
