Mark Twain called the late 19th century the "Gilded Age." By this, he meant that the period was glittering on the surface but corrupt underneath.

The period in American history from about 1870 to 1900 is called the "Gilded Age." During this age rapid industrialization, immigration, and minimal governmental regulation allowed the upper classes to accumulate great wealth and enjoy luxurious lifestyles.

Mark Twain coined the phrase the "Gilded Age", to describe the late 19th century. What he meant by this was that society, the government and nation at a large was glittering on the surface but corrupt underneath.

Hence, I think that  this is an accurate label for the period because as the society, and economy developed so did the corruption.

How would you judge Samuel Slater and Francis Lowell, who brought secrets to the United States illegally?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Well they both helped to modernize/industrialize the U.S, so it depends which view point you would like to take. They stole the plans from england, who had successfully monopolized industrialization for almost a century, who would be upset at this loss of control and therefore business. However an American would probably be thankful for the industry that blossomed as a result of these actions.
