HIST 10 AMU Week 5 Transcendentalism and Individualism Discussion

I’m working on a history discussion question and need support to help me learn.

1:  What is the relationship between transcendentalism and individualism? Between transcendentalism and social reform? Between Transcendentalism and middle class?

2:  Who was Harriet Tubman and how did she make an impact on American History?  How was she involved in the Underground Railroad and the Union Army?   Remember to avoid a biography- she was born- married- did stuff- died.  Focus on her impact on History.   

3:  How do you explain the appearance of the women’s rights movement? What were its goals, and why did they arouse intense opposition?  Remember 1840s not the 1900s. 

4:  Choose either William Lloyd Garrison or Frederick Douglass.  How did your chosen person impact American History?  How did he influence society?  Why?  Choose 1 person.  Not both.    Remember to avoid a biography- he was born- married- did stuff- died.  Focus on Garrison or Douglass’s impact on History.
