"Westward expansion began in earnest in 1803. Thomas Jefferson negotiated a treaty with France in which the United
States paid France $15 million for the Louisiana Territory - 828,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River -
effectively doubling the size of the young nation. The lands acquired stretched from the Mississippi River to the Rocky
Mountains and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border(...) American artists explored this new territory and
chronicled the settlement of the frontier: landscapes extolling the nation's geographic wonders from Niagara Falls to the
Grand Canyon drove and documented westward expansion"

Emerson and Thoreau belong to a philosophical movement that came to be known as Transcendentalism.
Transcendentalism differs from Unitarianism in its:
 opposition to the emphasis on individual experience.
objection to accept the mysteries of the world.
embrace of ideals proposed by John Locke.
 rejection of rational principles to explain spiritual beliefs.
desire to separate the natural from the religious.
Respondido em 16/02/2024 13:12:29
Explicação:
Answer:Answer: rejection of rational principles to explain spiritual beliefs.
Feedback: Feedback: Unitarianism is more concerned with the way that logical explanationscan justify religion.
Transcendentalism, on the other hand, accepts the mysterious aspects of faith, with nature providing its main
source of themes.  Hence, it neither embraces John Locke's ideals, nor does it desire to separate the natural from
the religious (quite the opposite, in fact). What's more, it emphasizes individual experience. The correct answer is
thus: rejection of rational principles to explain spiritual beliefs.

"Midway in his Walden sojourn Thoreau had spent a night in jail. On an evening in July 1846 he encountered
Sam Staples, the constable and tax gatherer. Staples asked him amiably to pay his poll tax, which Thoreau
had omitted paying for several years. He declined, and Staples locked him up. The next morning a still-
unidentified lady, perhaps his aunt, Maria, paid the tax. Thoreau reluctantly emerged, did an errand, and then
went to collect huckleberries."
