Question

Is this a good enough answer:

American identity was undergoing a transformation, during the nineteenth century. During the eighteenth century, much of the educational and artistic life of the nation was reduced to the East Coast and also the Thirteen Colonies, and American identity, as something becomes independent from English identity, had not been fully developed yet. This changed during the nineteenth century. Authors like Mark Twain and Walt Whitman wrote about what it meant to be an American, and their experience was one that failed to resemble that of Europe. They focused on phenomena that were uniquely American, like expansion and slavery. This allowed them to develop a uniquely American identity.

For this question:
How did writers, visual artists, and transcendental thinkers shape American identity in the nineteenth century?
In your three- to five-sentence response, include at least two examples of how writers, artists, and transcendental thinkers shaped American identity.
