The 1870s, 1880s, and the 1890s were apart of the Gilded Age because it was a time of major technological innovation and a rise in foreign trade for the U.S. It was also a time when businesses expanded not only in each area of the manufacturing process but in the number of buildings as well. One key economic feature of the Gilded Age was railroad tracks because they played an important role in the transportation of manufactured goods and allowed those products to reach places they have never been before. An important social aspect of the Gilded Age was the corruption and lack of government control of large companies because many politicians supported them, making them essentially untouchable. The definition of “gilded” means that a layer of
James Buchanan Jr. was born on April 23, 1791, in to Cove Gap, Pennsylvania. He attended Old Stone Academy and later Dickinson Collge.

The Gilded Age was the period between the late 19th century and early 20th century. During this time, the United States underwent a period of immense economic, political, and social growth.

Garrison went out of his way to promote anti-slavery in the most radical ways like creating an anti-slavery newspaper . In “Declaration of Sentiments of the American Anti-Slavery Society” (doc e) Garrison discusses the topic of American ideals and how slavery shouldn’t be apart of it which could have possibly brought upon more individuals to become apart of the movement. During this point and time, it was very important to understand the point of view from an actual slave in deep description and that’s exactly what Fredrick Douglass does. In the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass (doc g), Douglass describes his experiences, this pretty much speaks for every other slave who wasn't able to say these things out loud or at all. Because Fredrick Douglass was one of the most famous activists, many listened to what he had to say and it made sense to be on the right side.

After the Civil War and Reconstruction Era, early civilization in both the North and the South ultimately struggled with accepting change in order to prosper.

William Randolph Hearst William Randolph Hearst once said, “you can crush a man with journalism.” Hearst crushed many opponents with his newspapers and articles, if they were simply in his way of establishing an empire. His motivation for making his journalism outlets such a success was not money, but power to control the public. Hearst’s introduction into journalism came from an apprenticeship to Joseph Pulitzer after college. It wasn’t until he had gained control of his father’s newspaper the San Francisco Examiner, that he began to submerge himself into the world of journalism.
