5 things from the packet

1. Ralph Waldo Emerson believed that America should interpret its culture in new ways, not borrowed from Europe.
2. Transcendentalism according to Kant is "the knowledge or understanding a person gains intuitively, although it lies beyond direct physical experience."
3. Brook Farm is where people who believed in Transcendentalism went.
4. Literature growth and transportation advances were related to each other.
5. Boys that were 7 and 8 provided for the family more than the father because his wages were too low.
