 The Gilded Ages

Welcome to

!

The Gilded Age is the term used to define the unbridled years between the Civil War and the start of the twentieth century. During this period, America flourished and saw unparalleled development in industry and technology. Mark Twain called the late 19th century the "Gilded Age." By this, he suggested that the period was shimmering on the surface but crooked at the foundation. Its evident that the Gilded Age was an era of fraud, evident expenditure, and unconstrained capitalism. However it is more practical to believe of this as modern-day America's formative era, when an agricultural culture of small manufacturers were converted into an urban civilization controlled by industrial conglomerates.
