In your three- to five-sentence response, include at least two examples of how writers, artists, and transcendental thinkers shaped American identity.

During the eighteenth century, much of the academic and artistic life of the nation was reduced to the East Coast and the Thirteen Colonies, and American identity, as something separate from English identity, had not been fully developed yet.

They focused on phenomena that was uniquely American, such as expansion and slavery. This allowed them to develop a unique American identity.
