What is the gilded age in America?

The gilded age in America refers to the period from the end of the Civil War to the beginning of the 20th century in American history.

Reason: Because many people became extremely rich during this period, and because they were rich, they lived a golden life.

The growth of industry and the tide of immigration have become the characteristics of this period in American history.

The output of iron and steel has increased rapidly, and the demand for resources such as wood, gold and silver in the west has also increased greatly due to the need to improve the transportation system. With the development of railways, the rich resources in the west can be continuously transported to the east. There was also a great demand for steel and oil at that time.

Due to industrialization, many people have created considerable wealth, such as John. Rockefeller is rich in oil, and Andrew Carney is rich in steel. Because these people earn a lot of wealth by buying low and selling high, they are all called "robber barons".
