Alexis de Tocqueville observed that despite America's growing prosperity in the 19th century, many Americans felt restless due to a pervasive sense of individualism and the relentless pursuit of material success. This quest often left people feeling unfulfilled and disconnected, as they prioritized personal ambition over community ties. Additionally, the democratic ethos fostered a desire for constant improvement and change, leading to dissatisfaction with the status quo. Thus, even in wealth, many Americans struggled with a sense of emptiness and a yearning for deeper meaning.
