When did the American Renaissance happen?
American Renaissance
During the period of the American Renaissance, the United States' preoccupation with national identity (or New Nationalism) was expressed by modernism and technology, as well as academic classicism. It expressed its self-confidence in new technologies, such as the wire cables of  the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. It found its cultural outlets in Prairie School houses and in Beaux-Arts architecture and sculpture, in the "City Beautiful" movement, and in the creation of the American empire.[2] Americans felt that their civilization was uniquely the modern heir, and that it had come of age.  Politically and economically, this era coincides with the Gilded Age and the New Imperialism.
