The following that did not take place place during the Gilded Age (1877–1890) are these: Civil War and Reconstruction (1861–1865) (1865–1877); the Great California Gold Rush (1849) major religious revivals (Religious Revivalism: 1800–1850).
The Civil War, or American Civil War, was a war waged in the United States from 1861 to 1865. As a result, among other things, of a historical controversy over slavery and against attempts by the US federal executive to take powers that do not corresponded constitutionally, the war broke out in April 1861, when the forces of the Confederate States of America attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina, shortly after President Abraham Lincoln took office. The nationalists of the Union proclaimed loyalty to the Constitution of the United States. They clashed with secessionists from the Confederate States, who defended the rights of states to expand slavery.
California gold rush was a social phenomenon occurred in the United States between 1847 and 1855, characterized by the large number of immigrants who came to the vicinity of San Francisco (California) in search of the metal. This phenomenon began near the town of Coloma, when gold was discovered in Sutter's Mill. When the news of the discovery spread, around three hundred thousand people emigrated to California from the rest of the United States and other countries.
Religion was a major cause of the English Civil War. It was part of a Europe wide conflict between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. At the start of his reign (1625) King Charles I had married the Roman Catholic Henrietta Maria of France.
