From Gilded Age to the Progressive Era
The Gilded Age (1876-1896) was a time of unprecedented American industrial expansion, which generated powerful corporate empires, rising inequality, violent worker-management clashes, Populist discontent in farm states like Kansas, as well as remedies ranging from "free silver" to socialism. During the Progressive Era (1900-1916), Presidents Teddy Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson helped promote more modest reforms, such as "trust busting" laws and court rulings, the Federal Reserve System, and Meat Inspection Act. Were people like Andrew Carnegie "captains of Industry" or "robber barons"? We tackle this and other questions by examining conflicting viewpoints as well as film clips from historical documentaries.
