Answer: Slavery, use of federal power, etc.
Explanation: Before the Civil War began, the North and South disagreed on many things, but the major dispute between them was the use of slavery. Slavery was what shaped the South's economy, but the North didn't favor enslaved labor. Even after the North tried numerous attempts to end slavery for the whole country, the South still used slaves to work on plantations. It was only then that the Civil War began, which caused the North and South to split. The North became the Union and the South became the Confederacy. Slavery wasn't the only issue that caused them to divide themselves. The South wanted power to the states, and not the Congress, which was another cause for division between the North and South.

Thus let's see the general features of the Gilded Age:
The Gilded Age is the period between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the 20th century. Its name was given by a book by Mark Twain called <em>The Gilded Age: A tale of today</em>.
This period is characterized by the growth of monopolies in the economy that led to many corruption scandals where politicians plotted with industrialists and businessmen. An expression famous at the time was robber barons.
It was also an age of great industrialization of the country that led to many changes in the social structure of the society. More fabrics meant a growth in the working class that was violently explored by the bourgeoisie. That's why in this period there was also an increase in labor movements. Violent exploration of the working class led to a moment of economic growth and production of wealth that wasn't equally distributed.
In this period the US received thousands of immigrants that created a large population of poor people in the cities living in tenements. This was famously shown in the book <em>How the other half lives</em> by Jacob Riis, himself a Danish migrant.
It was also a time of railroad expansion with the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad and the muckracking journalism where reporters would focus their work on exposing corruption between politicans and the economic elite.
A summit is a meeting of heads of state or government. They started as a way for leaders to share their problems directly without all the fuss of a big conference room or press. They usually have high security as well.
Some African American men were used to fight in the war and actually volunteered or got deployed because not enough people were strong enough to make it past certain obstacles.
