Transcendentalism time period was in the early nineteenth century. The traits I see that are stressed in the transcendentalism movement are individualism, spiritual, and philosophy. I saw individualism through the quote “all men are created equal” in the text. Individualism is thought of as having ones own thoughts and ideas and not the thoughts or values of others. I feel that individualism was a major part of this movement that was stressed. However I feel that individualism in our society today is still important as it allows us to develop our own opinions and values for oneself, also individualism shows how one can trust themselves. The spiritual aspect of transcendentalism is again focusing on individualism as it sways away from religion
