The correct answer is C) The migration of European intellectuals to the United States.

The factor that contributed most to the increased importance of literature in American culture during the 19th century was the migration of European intellectuals to the United States.

People in the Americas were influenced by English literature. That is when American literature started its own trajectory. The first American novels were published in the late 1800s and the early 1900s. In the 19th century, new literature figures appeared on the American scene. Writers such as Edgar Allan Poe, Washington Irving, and Ralph Waldo Emerson became prominent figures in the American literature. Then, we had figures such as Henry David Thoreau, Harrier Beecher Stowe, and William Lloyd Garrison.
