I need an explanation for this History question to help me study.
Hi,
I just want you to responded to the response question that already answered and give some thought and examples to this:
Question 1: Two major cultural transformations during the 1800s were religious revivalism and transcendentalism. What did those two developments consist of and how can we account for their existence during this time period? What were some of the major outcomes?
Transcendentalism was one of the most notable philosophical and intellectual movements in America. Transcendentalism was developed between 1830s and 1840s as a form of protest against the society and culture. The reformers wanted to change the laws regulating the consumption of alcohol because it brought about social disorder which led to the disruption of families and the deaths of men during the war. Transcendentalists believed that the purity of an individual is destroyed through political parties and some organized religions that are part of the society. They believed that the only time when an individual was at his or her best was when would learn to be independent or self-reliant. They suggested that being purely transcendental cannot be compared with being in real life practice. On the other hand, revivalism was a phenomenon that involved a mysterious expression of God’s grace that led to the revival of many individuals in the church. After some time, revival rose to be the main instrument for encouraging conversions. It became a famous human divine event. One of the major outcomes of transcendentalism and revivalism is that more people believed and got saved. Additionally, there were reduced deaths due to alcohol related cases. In conclusion, the cultural transformations were a great milestone in the history of the United States of America.
