Connection Across Continent

Ralph Emerson

When making connections across continents I would connect Romanticism to Transcendentalist and The Corn Law (1815) to the Nat Turner Slave Law. Romantic literature was first developed in Britain and works were commonly exemplified by poets Wordsworth, Colerdife,Scot Shelly and Keats. Each of the poets seemed to inspire and influence each other. In the United States Transcendentalist was a religious philosophical, literacy movement. They commonly disagreed with each other belief. Ralph Emerson and Henry Thoreau are commonly known for there writings. They believed in nature and you should indentify your purpose within life. Simply the poets would express there views with in there writings.

"A great man is always willing to be little. "
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Corn Laws was British laws revised in 1815 that prohibited foreign grain unless the price at home rose to improbable levels thus artistocracy but making food prices high for working people. In the United States Nat Tunner Slave Rebellion occurred. Nat Turner beleived that he was called upon by God to lead a slave rebellion. Many innocent slaves were killed  and about 50 whites were killed. They finally made a deal with Turner and his gang. Turner went into hiding and was finally executed on  November 11,1831.
