There are two civilizations that might fit this answer.
The first is Ancient Greece, that is Athens. Athens had a democratic government that resembled a republican one but since they were only a city-state and not a huge republic then historians are wary when they talk about it in terms of republicanism. They did however have a democratic government with an elected senate and suffrage rights.
The second is Ancient Rome. Up until Augustus became the emperor and turned it into the Roman Empire, Rome was a republic. They were a republic in the true sense because they had the senate which would vote for new legislation and this covered the entire Roman republic which was huge, not just the city of Rome.
On this day in 1774, the First Continental Congress<span> sends a respectful </span>petition to King George<span> III to inform his majesty that if it had not been for the acts of oppression forced upon the colonies by the British Parliament, the American people would be standing behind British rule.

Answer:
The Gilded Age was characterized by really fast industrial and economic growth, from the 1870s to the 1900s. It was named after Mark Twain's and Charles Dudley Warner's novel <em>The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today</em>, which satirically describes a difficult period of living, covered and hidden with gold gilding.
The rapid expansion of industrialization was accompanied by a huge advance in transportation (railways), technologies and manufacturing (heavy industry, factories, coal mining), causing huge expansion of immigration from Europe to America, high real wage growth and individual wealth. During these years, the U.S. economy had the fastest rate of growth, with high GDP, capital formation, real wage, etc.
Even though they were outnumbered the Greeks trained at a very young age and they were very fit☺
