The second installment, “Defining the Nation”, returns to colonial times to trance the growth of great wealth that the agrarian economy and transatlantic trade with England, western Europe, and the Caribbean produced for some Americans. As the nation continued to prosper with the development of industry in the 19th century, the American belief in the importance of education enriched a new generation of young minds, and artisans created objects that celebrated intellectual and artistic achievement.
