You didn't provide the excerpt, so i can only say what he thought about it and then you can fit it in. Emerson was a transcendentalist and believed in the good found in men and had similar thoughts. He believed, like many others, that we are innately good but the society corrupts us, because it doesn't understand true and gentle souls.
