Write a review paper on the Gilded Age.
Students can exceed the 1000 words minimum without grade deduction, however, students will receive a grade deduction for writing less than 800 total minimum words for their exam. The word count is the body of the text excluding a cover page (if you decide to include one), header, footnotes, and attached bibliography (if you decide to include one). Since footnotes contain all citation information, an attached bibliography is not necessary.
Students often lose points for not explaining the importance of their selected examples. Students should not simply list a series of examples. Students should instead provide analysis and explanation upon their selected examples to illustrate their understanding of the significance and importance of that selected example. Why was that example chosen to support your exam response? How does your selected example support your argument? Be specific, clear, and concise.
Students will be evaluated on their understanding and comprehension of the course material as provided and presented by the instructor. Exams should demonstrate a mastery of course content as provided in the instructor lectures and supplemented by the course textbook.
You are not expected to locate external sources for your responses. Feel free to treat this as an open book/open note exam. Feel free to use anything and everything posted to Canvas.
Question: Following Reconstruction, America entered what’s been called the Gilded Age. This period in American history was marked by the growing expanse of business, hardships for workers, and struggle for many Americans. Describe the Gilded Age and provide detail on how this period in American history allowed for business leaders to amass unprecedented wealth at the expense of workers. You may also consider to write upon the absence of the American federal government to regulate business or further provide safety measures (i.e. on food, housing, or workplaces) for Americans.
I put three sources for it, please let me know if I’m missing anything
