He does not harbor any negative sentiments toward them but regards them as beneath him.

Response: B) He considers them as lesser than himself.

Explanation:

The statement about Burton's fondness for colored individuals becomes ironic after further reading. He does possess some affection and respect for the maternal figure of "mammy" and sees colored individuals as efficient servants. However, they are expected to "know their place" and should not presume they are equal enough to dine with Burton, which he would refuse to do even offered a fortune. Thus, we observe how such supposed "fondness" is constrained by bias, believing that colored people belong below him.

Match the transcendental authors to their works. ""Nature"" Woman in the Nineteenth Century Walden ""Orphic Sayings"" Amos Brons
Naddika [7460]

Answer:

"Nature" - Ralph Waldo Emerson.

"Woman in the Nineteenth Century" - Margaret Fuller.

"Walden" - Henry David Thoreau.

"Orphic Sayings" - Amos Bronson Alcott.

Explanation:

Transcendentalism emerged as a philosophical ideology in the early 1800s. This belief system posited that a higher power transcends everything else, placing significant value on human goodness while stressing themes of individuality and autonomy, alongside a hopeful outlook.

In his essay "Nature," Ralph Waldo Emerson lays out the principles of transcendental thought.

Margaret Fuller's work, "Woman in the Nineteenth Century," is seen as a critical feminist text of the period.

In "Walden," Henry David Thoreau meditates on the peace found in nature and the virtue of simplicity.

Amos Bronson Alcott's "Orphic Sayings" offers a collection of reflections from the transcendentalist, which others in the movement often deem nonsensical or hard to understand.
