In the United States, were the decades of the 1800s stereotyped in the early 1900s the same way we have stereotyped decades of the 1900s?

The 1920s is flapper girls, 1960s is hippies, the 1970s is disco, so on... Were there stereotypes that existed of the 1820s, 1840s, and so on?

More can be said, but in the meantime, /u/mimicofmodes has a complication of older answers they’ve written (on their current and former accounts) that you may appreciate, all linked to in response to this question:

Did people in the 1920s have "'80s parties" where they dressed like it was the 1880s? What about people in the 1820s and "'80s parties" representing the 1780s, etc.? More generally, how did people in the past view the aesthetics and culture of the further-past, and what is the origin of "decades"?
