For whites, a new birth of freedom means the triumph of free labor, the restoration of the Union, white supremacy, and a white-on-white reconciliation that ignores the reality of slavery driving the Civil War. For African Americans, although freed from slavery, the new birth would wait a hundred years and only come through sustained mass action against violent reaction. Despite the many failures of its application, the insistence that all men are created equal proved powerful enough to work its way.
