  • The Young America Movement was an American political, cultural and literary movement in the mid-19th century. Inspired by European reform movements of the 1830s (such as Junges Deutschland, Young Italy and Young Hegelians), the American group was formed as a political organization in 1845 by Edwin de Leon and George Henry Evans. It advocated free trade, social reform, expansion westward and southward into the territories, and support for republican, anti-aristocratic movements abroad. The movement also inspired a drive for self-consciously "American" literature in writers such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Walt Whitman. It became a faction in the Democratic Party in the 1850s. Senator Stephen A. Douglas promoted its nationalistic program in an unsuccessful effort to compromise sectional differences. The breakup of the movement left many of its adherents discouraged and disillusioned. John L. O'Sullivan described the general purpose of the Young America Movement in an 1837 editorial for the Democratic Review: All history is to be re-written; political science and the whole scope of all moral truth have to be considered and illustrated in the light of the democratic principle. All old subjects of thought and all new questions arising, connected more or less directly with human existence, have to be taken up again and re-examined. Historian Edward L. Widmer places O'Sullivan and the Democratic Review in New York City at the center of the Young America Movement. In that sense, the movement can be considered mostly urban and middle class, but with a strong emphasis on socio-political reform for all Americans, especially given the burgeoning European immigrant population (particularly Irish Catholics) in New York in the 1840s.

  • Movimento Jovem América foi uma atitude política e cultural ocorrida nos Estados Unidos em meados do século XIX. Inspirado pelos movimentos de reforma europeus da década de 1830 (como a Jovem Alemanha, Jovem Itália e Jovens hegelianos), o grupo americano foi formado como uma organização política em 1845 por e . Defendia o livre comércio, a reforma social, a expansão para os territórios do sul e o apoio a movimentos republicanos e anti-aristocráticos no exterior. Tornou-se uma facção no Partido Democrata na década de 1850. O senador Stephen A. Douglas promoveu seu programa nacionalista em um esforço infrutífero para comprometer as diferenças seccionais. John L. O'Sullivan descreveu o propósito geral do movimento Young America em um editorial de 1837 para a : Todo a história deve ser reescrita; a ciência política e todo o alcance de toda a verdade moral devem ser considerados e ilustrados à luz do princípio democrático. Todos os assuntos antigos de pensamento e todas as novas questões surgidas, ligadas mais ou menos diretamente à existência humana, precisam ser retomados e reexaminados. O historiador colocou em grande parte O'Sullivan e o Democratic Review na cidade de Nova Iorque no centro do Movimento Jovem América. Nesse sentido, o movimento pode ser considerado principalmente de classe urbana e média, mas com forte ênfase na reforma sociopolítica para todos os americanos, especialmente tendo em conta a crescente população imigrante européia (particularmente os ) em Nova Iorque na década de 1840.
