Transcendentalism was the movement that Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Fredrick Douglass spoke on and about. The movement and lectures focused on self-reliance, freedom from constraints on rights, and self-expression. Communities were built around their belief in their philosophy as the guiding force.
