After the Civil War came the stupendous American fortunes, the Gilded Age, the malefactors of great wealth and privilege, and, eventually, in the case of the Baptist Rockefellers, say, the benefactions whereby the children and grandchildren of some founding pirates gave back the wealth a hundredfold.

American exceptionalism becomes confused when huge misfortunes come: Such catastrophes (economic depressions and other afflictions, including the pandemic of 2020) seem to be a betrayal of the country’s official understanding of itself and its raison d’être, the gentleman’s agreement that named Americans as God’s chosen.
