Transcendentalism was not widely known until Randolph Waldo Emerson wrote essays questioning religion behaviors. The real thought of transcendentalism cam from European scholars who question the manners that their religion required them to act by. The scholars drew up theories that revolve around the thoughts of spirits and God exist. The theories usually state that the Spiritual world was superior to the human world.
When Emerson writes about the theories of the Transcendentalist in Europe, Americans start to get involved in Transcendentalism. Many created groups that question the society they lived in. Cambridge, Massachusetts was a large territory mostly composed of Transcendentalist who freely shard their ideas. Cambridge was known as the utopia of Transcendentalism. The Transcendentalist argued why did peoples thoughts and self-spirit. The transcendentalist could believe in religions and transcendentalism. Transcendentalism was the opposite of imperialism, which is basically everything the Transcendentalist do not believe in. Many writers of the time period would revolve their works around transcendentalism or imperialism.
