The American Scholar was a speech given by Ralph Waldo Emerson to the scholars of the phi Beta kappa society in Cambridge on August 31, 1837. Several years after the independence of American country but still under the influence of Europe. This is the first time that Ralph Waldo Emerson constructed the new American cultural identity. According to Johnson, Belasco (2008), page (447) states that Jefferson's proposed Declaration of Independence took place on June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee was represented from Virginia (a place name) in the 2nd Congress. During his time he specially proposed solutions to all problems. In reality, the American colonies were supposed to be free and independent states, free from questions of guilt and commitment to the British country. Emerson uses transcendentalist and romantic views to get his point across in explaining a true American scholar's relationship with nature. It is also comparable to independence because nature is a free gift from God where everyone can use it for their own importance and enjoy its beauty. Here, nature is compared to independence and the American Constitution. Since nature has no owner as such, anyone who comes out of it can enjoy it without paying anything. Emerson's education mainly consists of three influences like nature, past and action. It mainly concerns independence during the Emerson period. The American Scholar is primarily concerned with the role of the scholar; it does not intend to deal with American identity. But with freedom and freedom. For him, independence should make it clear that the “peace and security” of his country depended exclusively on the success of the individual. Emerson has worked very hard to reach mid-paper in the kind of situation they are facing. Sixty years after independence, the culture of the American people was still heavily influenced by European culture and traditions. Emerson was the first man to help the constitution and the people unite and preserve their own culture. An American Scholar is a speech delivered to a Cambridge collage. Although American Scholar is a speech, it is not a speech on how to achieve independence and maintain the good constitution. The Americans had difficulty breaking free against the British. There was no equality between people and no sense of morality, even though they lived under the same sky. Works Cited Belasco, S. Johnson, l. volume 1 (2008).
