Amazingly, Burton combines significant eras in America's history into one readable account. The Age of Jackson, the road to the Civil War, the Civil War itself, Reconstruction, and the Gilded Age are all covered in this volume. Burton emphasizes Lincoln's southern background and the development of corporations during and after the Civil War, which foiled millennial aspirations.

Equality of Opportunity

In Antebellum America, there was a general striving for the millennium or the second coming of Christ. People sought to perfect society in anticipation of the millennium. The abolition movement thrived in this environment. It also created an atmosphere of extremes, dividing North and South with no sustainable middle ground. More importantly, Burton establishes that Lincoln's governing philosophy, equality of opportunity, emerged from millennial hopes. Everybody, including African-Americans, deserved the chance to improve themselves by the sweat of their brow.
