The federal government supported the interests of big businesses over the interests of labor unions.
Unions became popular during the Gilded Age in the US during an industrial boom. The government supported the owners of business during this period and practiced free market capitalism.
During the Gilded Age, the government took a policy of free-market or laissez-faire capitalism. This means the government did not interfere or create regulation of the economic system. They tended to support the practices of corporations because they were wealthy and had power. Unions demanded higher wages, government regulation, and better working conditions. All of these demands went against the thinking of the time and would have cost the government money and the favor of the powerful in the country.
The imperialism had a massive effect on Europe, especially its western part. The countries that were imperial powers managed to get hold onto territories all over the world. By managing to control these territories, the imperialists had lot of natural resources and very cheap labor force at disposal. This enabled the industry in Europe to have constant growth, and the manufacturing to skyrocket, thus there were more and more products for the market, and more and more wealth was coming because of it, resulting in strong and well developed countries in Western Europe.
