Exam Question: The early 1800s in the US defined a

great number of ideals that define us, as a people, from

the rest of the world. Define each ideal and indicate the

major people who supported the ideal. Why is each

ideal important to US culture? What is the significance

of each in relation to other political systems not based

on US democracy?

Individualism
Rural communalism and utopianism
Abolitionism
The women’s rights movement
You may use other sources than your textbook to

answer the question but you must write the essay in

your own words. I will not accept material copied from

external sources. Quoted material must use quote

marks. Be sure to identify your sources with a footnote.

Exams with plagiarized material, whatever the source,

will not receive any credit.
