My favorite period is from say 1850 to the 1880s.
The run up to the Civil War, the rise of the Republican Party and Lincoln, and most especially, the so called Reconstruction.
The 1880s is rather an anti climax in so very many ways.
The 1880s to 1914 really the twilight of Western liberalism.
But that is a foreign language to Americans.
