Ninety years ago the journal "The Nation" was born in the backwash of the most terrible war the U.S. had fought, a war that historian Charles A. Beard was to label the Second American Revolution. It was precisely that. It had freed four million black slaves, a change of revolutionary dimensions itself, and in the process had crystallized a much greater change already under way, the rise of financial-industrial interests which in a generation would remake the culture, politics, social life, and even the face of the U.S.
