Emergence of Liberalism in the United States
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page
report discusses the various societal and cultural dimensions,
especially in terms of political ideology, that served as the
framework for the emergence of liberalism in America in the late
18th century and the first half of the 19th century. The
liberalism that emerged in America during the 19th century was
the product of many different currents of thought or “cultural
dimensions” that had developed over the approximately 100 years
between the American Revolution and the Civil War. The origins
of liberal ideas conflicted with the established practices of
republicanism and resulted in a certain degree of conflict
regarding the importance and the actual definition of democracy.
