The reаdings this semester reflect whо we аre аs Americans. The Puritans in America laid the fоundatiоn for the religious, social, and political order of New England colonial life and helped shape American culture, politics, religion, society, and history well into the 19th century.  The Age of Enlightenment consisted of a movement of the 18th century that stressed the belief that science and logic give people more knowledge and understanding than tradition and religion. This was the age in which this United States of American founded and our core values were established. The Romantic Age is the age where the concept of the American Dream was introduced. We have read works from each of these periods. As each unit progressed, we saw the American Identity form.  Question: In at least 2 paragraphs, discuss how each period of time contributed to the American Identity. First explain just what your idea of what constitutes the American Identity. Then show how each period of time (Puritan, Enlightenment, Romantic) contributed to that identity. YOU MUST Discuss particular works that were read in your explanation. Also, make sure to discuss your understanding of the American Dream before discussing how it is treated in the works.
