How did the American Romantics respond to the negative aspects of industry in the United I States? They turned to nature. They turned to education. They turned to relision.

The American Romantics, active in the 19th century, were critical of the negative impacts of industrialization, such as urban crowding and the degradation of human life. In response, they emphasized a return to nature, valuing individual emotion, imagination, and the natural world as an antidote to the industrial age's impersonality and mechanization.
