Chapter 11: Industry & Growth (1790-1825)
Unit Theme: Nationalism
Nationalism is the idea of loyalty and devotion to one's country, in many ways it is similar to the idea of patriotism. Nationalism also involves the characteristics that make your country different than other nations, in short it is an identity. After the United States was launched, people wanted to see the country develop its own identity to set it apart from other countries of the world. The next three chapters focus on what that identity was and is, and how it developed. Of course, national identity is always framed as positive; no one ever wants to see their country as bullying or war-mongering. So in considering qualities that the United States sees itself as, we should consider how the nation lives up to, or fails to live up to those qualities.
