Resulting and increasing exponentially as a result of the War of 1812 (and other successful battles), the people took pride in their new found independence and boasted their feelings. They did this by believing in the Manifest Destiny ideology in which as the only Republic of their kind, it was their duty to propagate American beliefs globally (as well as continentally). The fundamental components comprising the foreign policy established by Jackson meshed with the sense of power that was blanketing the nation. People began to believe in the ideals of Manifest Destiny and the notion claimed by John Quincy Adams, “that the United States and North America were identical.” This imperialistic notion, as well as the fear of European encroachment amidst the Western Hemisphere, fueled the expansion towards Latin America. At first, it wasn’t international to hinder the freedoms of rising nations, nor to exercise surveillance over foreign power relations.
These companies provided a new outlook to the central value system of capitalism and the expectation to discover gold in the Americas. In 1607, Jamestown, the first English colony in the New World was founded. That is, they were the first to thrive and prosper in the act of colonization.

In 1790, the United States had just ratified the Constitution and began its experiment with a Republican government. The ratification of the Constitution marked the beginning of the Early National Period.

It was a movement like any other artistic movement, not something intentionally made to be a “movement”, but a tangible gesture towards national contribution. One factor that contributed the rise of the movement was the importance of New York after the opening up of the Hudson River and the Erie Canal as the main water route between the Middle East and the east Coast.

As this rapid population shift continued to intensify throughout the early 19th century, social problems began to manifest themselves upon the working class of these ‘new’ cities.
Division of the English In the early colonization of the New World, many different European colonists began to settle all throughout the Atlantic coastline which would later be divided into three regions or colonies which were the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies.
