How did Bellows characterize the nation and its people? O He believed that slavery destroyed whatever good might be in the nation's character. O He thought Americans lacked drive and were lost in romanticism. O He found Americans lazy at heart but compelled to work. O He noted that the nations' virtues were those of merchants, not men. According to Bellows, where did the "anxiety of gain" in the United States come from? O The desire to be competitive with foreign nations O The poverty of the lower classes of American society O The oppression of the working class by their employers O The American obsession with work, wealth, and outward appearance Which consequence resulted from the American "anxiety of gain"? O Increasing frequency of conflicts with foreign powers O Somber and inhospitable American homes O Growing wealth inequality O Terrible workplace conditions and long workdays
