More Gilded than Gold
Here on More Gilded than Gold we will be taking a historical look at one of the most transformational half centuries in American history. An era of extreme wealth, and abject poverty, and era of civil rights and violent oppression. An era of westward expansion, and increased urbanization. An era of immigration, and corruption. The post Civil War United States holds so many parallels to the Post WW2 United States and holds even more parallels to today. We will be taking a wide look at the United States from around 1865 to around 1901.
