Abraham Lincoln dominated his age but he was also a product of it. The restless, young country into which he was born was a confusion of great passions and ambitions. Religious fervor and a belief in human perfectibility were being tested as the country pushed westward. The expansion of slavery into the west infused politics with a great moral challenge. Award-winning Historian Vernon Burton describes an age that changed a nation.
