Republican Motherhood
<p>Republican motherhood was the ideology representing women's roles in the time before, during, and after the American Revolution. It was the idea that daughters and mother should be taught to uphold ideas of Republicanism. They would pass their Republican values to further generations. This idea separated women from men but at the same time it encouraged the education of women and their importance in society. Republican motherhood allowed women to be involved in politics and raising children in Republican ideals with eduction, but didn't allow them to venture into political activity outside the realm of a women, at the time. </p>

Genre Artists
<p>Genre artists were artists (such as William Sidney Mount or John Quidor) that painted people doing everyday activities in the United States, illustrating the daily lives of different people. These contribute to the idea of nationalism by presenting how the Americans have established their own unique culture and displaying an appreciation for different types of people. These works of art also suggest the idea of liberty and free will in the United States, as each person is free to live their life the way they choose and be able to sustain themselves.</p>

Monticello shows these characteristics by the whole outside being created in red brick, having four columns at the entrance, and having an octagonal roof. University of Virginia's buildings that Jefferson built, all have red brick, columns, and octagonal shapes. Some differences between Georgian Architecture and Jefferson Architecture are, Georgian is more built more flat and square unlike Jefferson's Architecture which was built in an octagonal shape. The Georgian Architecture also had more windows and had a tendency not to have columns unlike the Jefferson's Architecture.
