Answer 1

The correct answer is number 2) Concern for individual freedom.

Common attitudes and tendencies of American Romantic Literature include the Concern for individual freedom.

One of the important characteristics of sectionalism in American Romantic literature was the idea of the individual's concerns over the community's concern.

In that time of American Romantic literature, authors wrote about justice and idealistic ideas that made people think they had the opportunity to think first about themselves, and then help others like them, who were living in similar conditions.

This period started in the 1820s and ended approximately in 1863, with the beginning of the American Civil War.
