Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882) is considered to be one of the greatest philosophers from the United States. He was born and lived most of his life in Massachusetts. He was one of the founders of American Transcendentalism, a philosophical movement popular in New England during the 1800's. Emerson also wrote poetry, essays, and he briefly was ordained and served as a minister. Emerson believed in individuality, non-conformity, and the spiritual unity between all people and nature. He believed that God could be found in everyone and everything. Emerson was an abolitionist and he spoke against the cruel treatment of Native Americans.
