The correct answer is A. Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller.

Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller were both individuals who made a significant fortune during the Gilded Age in American society. Carnegie was well known for his influence in the steel industry while Rockefeller became extremely wealthy thanks to his investments in oil.

Both of these men used their status as a way to improve American society. A perfect example of this would be when Andrew Carnegie when he wrote the "Gospel of Wealth" article. This article discussed how rich individuals should use their money to help society. Carnegie practiced what he preached, and ended up giving away roughly $350 million of his fortune before passing away.

PLS HELP!! And an explanation would be great :)
eduard

Answer: ( A ) It became a world power.

Explanation:

The global equilibrium, which had allowed the United States to grow and prosper in virtual isolation since 1815 was gone forever as the result of a short but shattering war. In 1898, U.S. domestic support for the independence of Cuba enmeshed the United States in a struggle with Spain over the fate of the island nation. The decision to aid the Cuban resistance was a major departure from the traditional American practice of liberal nationalism, and the results of that decision had far-reaching consequences. The 1898 Treaty of Paris ending the war gave Cuba its independence and also ceded important Spanish possessions to the United States—notably Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and the small island of Guam. The United States was suddenly a colonial power with overseas dependencies.

This assumption of colonial responsibilities reflected not only the temporary enthusiasms of 1898 but also marked a profound change in the diplomatic posture of the United States. The foreign policies of the early 19th century had less relevance at the dawn of the 20th century because the nation had changed. The United States had almost all the attributes of a great power—it stood ahead or nearly ahead of almost all other countries in terms of population, geographic size and location on two oceans, economic resources, and military potential.

How did Hamilton’s and Jefferson’s different experiences relating to the writing of the Constitution affect their roles as membe
slamgirl [31]
Both men foresaw the US as a great future power. However, they differed on the path the nation was to follow in achieving this role. While Jefferson preferred an agrarian nation, Hamilton favored an industrial and business intensive nation. As such, Jefferson detested Hamilton's idea of a strong federal government. Jefferson wanted the bulk of power to rest with the states. While Hamilton distrusted popular will and believed that the federal government should wield considerable power in order steer a successful course, Jefferson placed his trust in the people as governors. These major views were behind polarizing Washington's cabinet into two distinct factions. Hamilton's followers became known as Federalists and Jefferson's Democratic-Republicans.   Hamilton and Washington were already close to one another so it makes sense that Washington gave Hamilton the attention he did.  More than anything Hamilton's views were prized by Washington; he very well may have been the most socially liberal and economically liberal man of his time, Jefferson stood to counter this with ultra-conservative views and policies. The idea was for there to be a sort of balancing act with the cabinet and it worked out quite well for Washington and the united states.  <span>Perhaps because of their differences of opinion, Washington made these two men his closest advisors.</span>
