America's fine arts developed under conditions far different from those in many other countries. The United States began as a group of colonies; its settlers were drawn from many places with differing customs and traditions. All of these customs and traditions, so well
suited to society's needs in their lands of origin, had to be adapted to life in a strange and difficult environment. A formal "American" culture, rooted in these modified traditions from distant places, but different from them grew and developed only after the United States was established as an independent nation. Early American leaders looked to the development of the arts as a sign, expected to manifest itself with the passage of time, of the new nation's evolving maturity and success.
