Answer:
Concord Hymn was a poem written by the famous transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson. A radical thinker in his time, Emerson is now known as one of the greatest philosophers in history, a pioneer in the idea that the individual is more important than the group. Living during the Industrial Revolution, he saw how society was becoming confined by its own need for itself. He wrote multiple works expressing the need to remove one’s self from civilization and reconnect with nature and with God.
