1877-1900: Gilded Era (1 Jan 1877 Jahr – 1 Jan 1900 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

The Gilded Era (1877-1900) was characterized by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and westward expansion. The government maintained a policy of minimal regulation, allowing businesses to grow quickly and often at the expense of workers' rights and environmental protections. This period saw significant economic growth, but also stark inequalities, as wealth was concentrated in the hands of a few industrial magnates. Urban centers expanded rapidly, fueled by immigration and the rise of factories, while the government focused on expanding the nation's territory and infrastructure, particularly through policies like the Homestead Act and the construction of the transcontinental railroad.
