Question: In what ways did American literature in the early nineteenth century reflect the New Democracy of the Jacksonian Age?
I pretty much already understand the question and I have a few examples that I'm thinking about using in my essay, but I'd really like to see what other people would use as examples/say about how they reflected the New Democracy.
Any help or online resources that are available would be a great help. Thank you!

Alright, since I never took the two at the same time, I guess I had my years mixed up. Actually, I thought I did but I didn't. Either way, I have an answer for you. Jackson led the way for Transcendentalists. The most prominent (and only one's I've heard of or remember, one of the two) were Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Emerson mainly focused on the power of the individual and the common man (even wrote an epic poem about it I believe). Thoreau apparently "preached civil disobediance to protest unjust laws" (from my AP prep book...REA(c), but not the best). At any rate, I only read a passage of Walden and I didn't see him doing any civil disobediane out in those woods by himself. That's really it I think because romantics came next and I don't remember anything like that from them.
