The Gilded Age:

• Mark Twain coined the phrase: Something that is gilded is covered with gold on the outside but made of cheaper material inside, sometimes corrupting and corroding.

• Beneath the surface of a great Industrial Boom and increase in the overall standard of living for Americans, there lay beneath the surface: corruption, poverty, crime and great disparities in wealth between the rich and the poor.

Obstacles in Industry

-Before this era, most women worked as SERVANTS

-Many women were underpaid and factories were not safe

-146 female workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire

-While safety concerns abounded, progress was still made

-The Bessemer Process of making steel made skyscrapers possible; elevators also made this possible

-Daniel Burnham designed Chicago with a lakefront park system

-Unions formed the Industrial Workers of the World to fight for the rights of factory labor; this is called COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

-The government started the Interstate Commerce Act to lower excessive railroad rates

-Yet, corruption abounded. For example, Credit Mobilier began to steal railroad money for share holders of stock

Cultures Class on the Prairie

Expanding West

-The federal government wanted people to go west

-A homesteader was a person who got land from the federal government to settle west

-As this occurred, more people were able to send beef back east; this lead to the Chisholm Trail.

-The government created the Morrill Act that gave money to finance agricultural colleges

-The Dawes Act was also created to help white settlers by poorly allocating land to Native Americans

-Some worked on Bonanza farms, massive single crop farms owned by railroads and companies

Bland-Alison Act: Back Money with Silver

More and the West and Conflict

-Another the government gave was the Homestead Act, which gave 160 acres to families in the west

-Originally, the government gave huge reservations to the Indians, but this changed once whites wanted to move to the area

-The government had a racist approach to giving land to Native Americans

-The government had many skirmishes with Native Americans who resisted expansion; yet, the final battle, the massacre of Wounded Knee, ended this tension

The Age of Railroads

Organized Labor In Agriculture -The Grange formed to fight banks whom they felt were not treating them correctly -This movement gained some momentum; yet, it collapsed when William McKinley, an anti-populist candidate, was elected to office -Farmers felt that the rich were hording all the wealth due to the gold currency-Therefore, they wanted silver to be used for currency to put more money in circulation -This is called bimetallism -During this time, the town of Pullman arose-It was unique because it was built for the purpose of housing its workers in manufacturing & the railroad

Notes on Sec. 1 the Rise of Industry

• I. the US Industrializes• A. with the end of the Civil War, American

industry expanded and millions of people left their farms to work in mines and factories

• B. By the early 1900s, US had become the world’s leading industrial nation

• By 1914 the gross national product (GNP), or total value of goods and services produced by a country, was 8x greater than at the end of the Civil War

• C. Water, timber, coal, iron and copper are natural resources found in the US that lead to the countries industrial success

• How did the construction of transcontinental railroads add to an increase in industrialization?

• D. What were the early uses of Petroleum?

• What industry was put out of business by the oil industry?

Titusville, Pennsylvania 1859

• In 1859 Edwin Drake drilled the first oil well near Titusville, Pennsylvania. As oil production increased, so did economic expansion (See Previous Picture)

• E. Between 1860 and 1910, the population of the US tripled. Why is this significant for industrialization?

• II. Free Enterprise• A. Laissez-fair, a French phase that

means “let people do as they choose,” was a popular idea in the late 1800s.


• Make an argument for both sides. Regulation or non-regulation today

• B. What is an Entrepreneur?

• They risked their capital to run a business. In the late 1800s, they were attracted to manufacturing and transportation fields.

• • As a result, hundreds of factories and thousands

of miles of railroad were built.

• Another important source of private capital was Europe. Why would foreign investors invest in American companies?

• III. Government’s Role in Industrialism• A. In the late 1800s, government had a laissez-

faire attitude by keeping taxes and spending low and by not imposing regulations on industry.

• Who would this help?• Who would this hurt?

• B. Since the early 1800s, Northern States and Southern States debated on economic policies. Why would the northern states want a tariff on manufactured goods?

• Why would southern states oppose a tariff?

• When the South seceded the Morrill Tariff was passed, which reversed years of declining tariffs. Why was Congress able to pass it passed during the Civil War?

• C. Some Americans were harmed by this tariff. What would other countries do when the US raised tariffs?

• Which group particularly would be harmed? Why?

• By the early 1900s, American industries were large and highly competitive. Many business leaders now favored free trade, believing they could compete internationally and succeed.

• Make a chart of the inventions and inventors on p. 311 and 312.

#5 Social Darwinism Arises

-Social Darwinism discouraged government regulation and claimed the strongest companies should survive

-This lead to monopolies; yet, legislation like the Sherman Anti-trust Act outlawed the formation of trusts that interfered with free trade IN ORDER TO CREATE MORE COMPETITION

-Vertical Integration occurred, where companies tried to by out all raw resources for their products

-Horizontal Integration also occurred, where companies bought out similar companies

-Strikes were used by labor to fight back, such as the Great Strike of 1877 in the railroad industry

-The railroads allowed cities to expand OUTWARD and time zones were made mainly to benefit railroad companies & travelers
