What did this quote mean in ancient times? “ a youngsters ear is on his back; he only listens to the man who beats him”

Answer and Explanation:

This is an example of transcendentalism.

Many Americans at that time also believed in "Manifest Destiny," or America's moral mission to expand West. As settlers and scholars traveled west, they discovered an inspiring landscape in places like California's Yosemite Valley and the Wyoming Yellowstone River.

Ancient travelers and writers, including naturalist John Moyer, have brought the wonders of the wild places of the West to those who have never seen them. The Americans, in turn, began to develop a sense of national pride in these wasteland areas. Prominent citizens advocated protecting such areas from interest and commercial development.
