Explanation:

1. One of the differences between these two types of writing was that American romanticism focused on people, while the literature from the colonial period often addressed religious themes. Therefore, the Romantics (for example, Edgar Allan Poe) would discuss themes that would have been inappropriate in early America, such as myths, legends, folk tales, irrationality, insanity and physical love. These themes are not concerned with religion, but they are nonetheless important for humans.

2. A second difference is the idea of human progress. As early Americans were hopeful about their future in a new land, they often addressed topics such as their hope in progress and the value of industry and hard work. On the other hand, the Romantics were significantly more pessimistic about the future, and about humans and their qualities.

3. Finally, early American literature was not rebellious or disruptive. It mostly addressed traditional topics such as religion, community, family, land and traditional moral values. On the other hand, the Romantics were a reaction to traditional views, and therefore, their writing was often more innovative.
