     Throughout the American literary history, it has already went through several literary movements, including post colonial literature, Calvinism, Puritanism, Transcendentalism, Romanticism as well as  slave narrative development prior to the Civil War. 

     Upon the entrance of the modern era, after the Civil War, American literary writers started to develop more and more diverse styles of writing, creating literary movements like adding more local color to their work, which is regionalism, adding Southern humor to their work embedded with naturalism, which could be found in Mark Twain's works. In addition, as writers enter the 20th and 21st century, more diverse, different styles of multi-culture could be as well seen through new generations of America, throughout modernism and  post-modernism within their writing and other aspects of arts, such as photography, painting and also music.
