What is Gilded Age: Labor, Immigration, and Reform about?
During the Gilded Age (1870-1900), the U.S. experienced rapid industrialization, leading to the rise of monopolies and significant immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe. Workers faced harsh conditions, prompting the growth of labor unions and strikes, while political machines gained influence through corruption and manipulation of immigrant voters. Reform efforts emerged, including the Pendleton Act, aimed at addressing government corruption and establishing merit-based civil service positions.
