"Creating an American Identity" examines the relationship
between regionalism and nationalism in New England between 1789 and
1825. During that period New Englanders and their neighbors in New
York and Pennsylvania used trans-Atlantic symbols at the same time
as a model and an antithesis in the creation of their own national
identity. In inventing their collective identity, Northerners not
only excluded Europeans, but also Southerners from their vision of
America. Widely used visual representations of New England
landscapes, virtues, and people created a strong loyalty to the
region. Surprisingly, New Englanders utilized their regionalism to
forge an American nationalism.
