Answer:

The Transcendental Movement developed between the War of 1812 and the Civil War.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transcendentalism was an American philosophical, political and literary movement that flourished approximately between 1836 and 1860. It began as a reform movement within the Unitarian Church that sought to extend the application of William Ellery Channing's thought about the inner God and the significance of intuitive thought. For transcendentalists, the soul of each individual is identical to the soul of the world and contains what the world contains. The transcendentalists worked with the feeling that the advent of a new era was at hand. They were critical of their contemporary society for their thoughtless conformity, and urged that each individual seek, in Ralph Waldo Emerson's words, "an original relationship with the universe."
