D. becoming cynical and critical of traditional values
Answer:
In the mid-1800s, American literature and arts began to change as authors and artists began to depict American life rather than classical European subjects.
Explanation:
Fine arts in the United States developed under conditions very different from those that occurred in many other nations. The United States was formed from a group of colonies; its founders came from different places with different customs and traditions. These, suitable for the needs of society in their countries of origin, had to adapt to life in a strange and adverse environment. A properly American culture, founded on these traditions modified from distant regions, although different from them, grew and developed only after the United States became an independent nation. This situation occurred in the mid-1800s, when almost 100 years after independence, the United States had a national identity forged and established in its population.
The key trade agreement that the US is currently negotiating is NAFTA, between Trump, Trudeau and Pena Nieto (the US, Canada and Mexico). This trade agreement has been in effect since the late 80's or early 90's and has far reaching consequences as whatever falls under the influence of it can be the subject of sanctions by the most powerful country involved which is the US in this case. Canada has significant softwood sales in the US which it needs to protect. Another trade issue is the importation of oil from Venezuela which is important to the US economy despite the oppostion to the democratically elected government in Venezuela so hopefully the US will temper its' opposition to protect those imports.
