Question

Evaluate the extent to which the gilded age reformers were successful?

Answer 1

The Gilded Age displayed considerable amounts of foul play ineconomic exploitation, political corruption, and unethical business practices. Many people who saw the unlawful ways of the rich and powerful took action to better the American society. Many reformers of the Gilded age were successful in bringing the change they desired; the reforms are still in effect to this day in our country, working to protect American citizens from unfair business practices that concentrated economic power, subjected workers to horrific labor conditions, and outcasted the mentally ill. That probably doesn´t answer your question at all, but I tried.

Answer 2

The Gilded Age occurred from the 1870s to about 1900. The Gilded Age was a period of rapid economic growth, most especially in the area of Northern and the Western United States. The period witnessed millions of European migration to America, as American wages rises than those in Europe, particularly for skilled workers. The rapid industrial growth result in real wage increase of about 60%, between 1860 and 1890. Also, the Gilded Age was considered period of rampant poverty and inequality, as many immigrants from poor regions entered into the United States.
