American Renaissance
In the time that is today called the American Renaissance, a new form of art, music, and in a sense, culture is established. The way of art changed in that in addition to painting people or objects, landscape was also painted or drawn at this time. Those who painted or drew landscape called themselves the Hudson River School. This so called "school" was influenced by romanticism. This was a movement in the late 18 century that was a peak for most areas of the United States. Some say that this was a result of the Industrial Revolution.
Transcendentalists, which were those who sought to better america, took a big role during this time period. Among the transcendentalists were William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglas, and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
