Before Postmodernism the authors that made up the literary canon in the United States were mostly white men.
This literary movement called Modernism (or modernist literature) had a non-traditional style of verse and poetry. The writers from that time felt traditional poetry was outdated, and that new forms of expression and representation had to be done to express new sensibilities and beliefs.

Hey there,
The first president of usa was George Washington.
George Washington was born in February 22, 1732 and died in December 14, 1799. He became president in April 30, 1789 and stopped being in the term of office in March 4, 1797
Well one push factor would be they wanted to escape religious and political prosecution. Another is the Potato Famine. This was when their potatoes were contaminated and many died from starvation and disease.
I hope this helps somehow ;)
