Mormonism was the product of the decades of religious and secular ferment that followed the American Revolution. It grew out of the evangelical enthusiasm, millenarianism, and communitarianism that characterized America in the 1830s and the social egalitarianism implicit in American Revolutionary ideology. It both defied and drew from othodox culture and the evangelical counterculture. Combining within itself different intellectual and religious tendencies, it was a religion in tension. It offered a reconciliation between millenarian evangelicism and elitist reaction to revivalism by institutionalizing the emotionalism and individualism of revivalism as an elaborate ecclesiastical hierarchy in which every man would be a priest. Based on contemporary imprints, personal letters, and secondary sources.
