The 19th Century was an incredibly rich time in American history. In the wake of the American Revolution and the War of 1812, the United States was still at the early stages of forming its own identity and a culture of its own.

American Romanticism emphasized the ideals of freedom, democracy, and equality set forth by the American Revolution. This movement also departed from traditional forms of writing, with Whitman's free verse poems and Melville's somewhat experimental novel, Moby Dick.

How is American Romanticism different from British Romanticism?
