Tell me more about US History, The Gilded Age, 1865 to 1898

The Gilded Age was a period of rapid economic growth and social change in the United States between 1865 and 1898.

The term “Gilded Age” was coined by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner in their 1873 book The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today.

During this time, the US population more than doubled, growing from 31 million in 1865 to 76 million in 1898.

Industrialization and urbanization increased dramatically, leading to the growth of large cities like New York, Boston, and Chicago.

The period also saw the rise of the first large-scale corporations, such as Standard Oil and Carnegie Steel.

Immigration to the US increased significantly, particularly from countries in Europe and Asia.

The Gilded Age was also a time of social unrest and political corruption.
