SAMPLE SOLUTION
In the world history, the period between 1750s and 1850 exists among the eras that were associated with significant changes in the manner in which various territories and empires conducted their affairs. During this period, the Seven Years War, which occurred between 1756 and 1763, was accompanied by intense rivalry between European powers, an issue that extended into competition for territory/empire[1]. The political arena was to be transformed by a succession of revolutions battled in the name of freedom/liberty, particularly in France, America, Geneva, and Holland. The novel ideas and rivalry of imperial powers were carried to other empires such as Egypt, India, and Caribbean, leading to the creation of the first black republic of Haiti in 1790s. In America, the period between 1750 and 1890 was associated significant transformations in the social, economic, and political ideologies within the America Empire to help the nation match the level of rivalry that existed among different world territories, thereby leading to the changing of the notion of American exceptionalism. All these transformations were aimed at positioning the American territory as the world’s strongest power.
Rampant changes were witnessed in the social spheres of the American Empire between 1750 and 1890. Social transformations that occurred during this period covered the dimensions of arts, literature, and settlements among others. In art, the empire saw the emergence of the Hudson River School as well as famous painters like Thomas Cole who came with their novel styles of painting. Most of these artists now began focusing on the painting of landscape, as opposed to people, animals or other items[2]. As a result, the American panting style acquired its identity by breaking away from the English style of painting.
