Charleston, S.C.

Charleston, shown at this time between 1900 and 1915, portrays what can be the 'American Dream' as said by Cullen and Adams. 

Charleston significantly grew during the mid-eighteenth century to a wealthy city, which shows Adams view that america was "the land of promise", as this city started as group of colonist from England and then grew to what it is today. This is showing the use of the land available and the possibility of building a new place from nothing, which supports Adams' view that the american dream is for materialistic purposes, such as economic and commercial success, rather than Cullen's view, which is that the American dream is dependent on the person and their views, such as religious freedom or due to the declaration of independence.

Place of opportunity. Slaves/freedom. Show of expansion.
