In short, the Colonial system of indentured servitude (working for 5-7 years for someone to pay them back for your trip across the Atlantic) was running out of people. So the British brought African peoples across.
The Gilded Age was an era of rapid economic growth, especially in the North and West. As American wages were much higher than those in Europe, especially for skilled workers, the period saw an influx of millions of European immigrants. The rapid expansion of industrialization led to real wage growth of 60% between 1860 and 1890, spread across the ever-increasing labour force. The average annual wage per industrial worker (including men, women and children) rose from $380 in 1880 to $564 in 1890, a gain of 48%. However, the Gilded Age was also an era of abject poverty and inequality as millions of immigrants—many from impoverished European nations—poured into the United States, and the high concentration of wealth became more visible and contentious
I feel that Hamilton's statements has some threshold, in reflection, to today's modern society. I believe that with the many diverse opinions, it seems as if it has weakened us a little more. Lets take for example, the TPP agreement, this stirred many controversy between the rich and the middle classed folks. It was like clashing between Left and Right wing...But that depends on your stance. Another example would be Trump's idea of building a wall. That idea may still be a thought, but the idea of actually building a wall to divide America and Mexico, stirred a lot of hate, and yet a lot of support from the general public. And there were even some who were in between. But regardless, the statement really depends on how clean (or non-biased) your eye lenses are.
