The Gilded Age glistened in many ways. It also tarnished in many ways as well. Some of the topics that were considered highly important during this time period included political issues, race relations, workers, class issues, agriculture, and reconstruction, and the ways that this time affected the women. For this I chose to write about the political issues that happened during this era if time.
During the years of “The Gilded Age”, the face of modern America took shape. Waves of people from all over the world came to America causing small towns to become much, much bigger. Because of the people coming from all over the world, the United States began to consist of much more than just Protestant, and Anglo. The neighborhoods were filled with many different ethnicities and cultures. Because of all the different types of people there were many different ways that everyone did things which taught everyone else many things. On the negative side of this because of the amount of people who came to the United States so fast there were problems such as overcrowding, poverty, and health problems which led to the issues of new government problems, prompting reform efforts, politically, journalistically, and also social issues.
In 1900 a large number of people in the country were coming from the Great Wall of China, but they could hardly find other places to live while on holiday, the White House was not constructed as a symbol of American unity during the White House years. The new administration of President Johnson was led by a Republican (Republican Party) which was quite concerned about American independence and therefore they sought to force immigrants to assimilate. A large number of immigrants to the United States who were not already here took advantage of a little amnesty program to escape the immigration system and then began to join this group. The Americans ended up in the United States as part of an anti-Communist group called the Free Labor Party, which began in a local school in Chicago. That group also saw immigration as a major problem as it was seen as a form of discrimination in America that was based on race and sex. After the first few hundred people started to arrive, as they would in the second half of the 20th century many different groups came to America. One of the groups was the Free Labor Party in the 1880’s, which was headed by the leader of the Labor Party, and this group was formed in Chicago in 1878. There was also another group, the American Economic Review Reform, and the American Industrial Workers Federation. There were two groups of Americans who had already come from all around the world but they knew that something was wrong with America, and so started a campaign against immigration which led to the establishment of different political parties during the American Revolution. As such Americans came into the American System and began their political careers fighting for an America based on equality, and those who were supporting these parties were those who were the most experienced and best informed. In fact it was during the Civil War when the Democrats and Republicans were also very close to gaining some control of the political scene by their actions, and they were able to control their own political system with minimal opposition because the Democrats who were able to control the political scene wanted the Democrats to be more conservative in line with the Democratic Party ideology. Also during the 1879 World War a group or group of Americans from some different countries or ethnicities came to the United States, and they brought them to the same place, but instead of being able to use the U.S. government as a platform they were able to use immigrants from many different countries to help them get closer to the U.S., such as from Africa and Asia. The American Federation of Labor in 1882 started another group called American Industry, which was actually founded sometime in America in 1909. During that time American workers at the Chicago factory where the American factory was being constructed had the potential to have the potential for making huge economic gains, and even in 1882, a number of immigrants from China joined the ranks of the American workers and started to make the gains in the manufacturing sector. The American Industrial Workers’ Federation of America in 1909 had several members in 1882, but as other immigrants from other countries joined the ranks of the American workers and started bringing those immigrants to America, the American Industry Association of America (NAWA) was formed by the members to organize groups for economic, social, cultural and other improvements. Since the Americans came because they could become a part of it because there was a larger base that was willing to work for its betterment, they began to form new

There were many political issues that were brought up during the “Gilded Age” that made the era glisten. The textbook says, “For a brief period of years, black politicians exercised more power in the South than they would for another Century.” (Divine 407). During those years black politicians had more power than anyone else. It definitely boosted their confidence. During that time it showed everyone that black people were just as good as white people and it also showed everyone that black people could do anything that a white person can do. It also showed people that blacks can be just as powerful as a white person.
Another issue that had major affects on this period and made this era glisten was that, “the Reconstruction Era also saw major transformations in American society in the wake of the Civil War-new ways of organizing labor and family life, new institutions within and outside of the government, and new ideologies regarding the role of institutions and government in social and economic life. Many of the changes begun during the Reconstruction Era laid the groundwork for later revolutions in American life.” (Divine 407-8). The reconstruction period was a major time because there were so many changes that took place. Most of the changes that took place were positive ones. The changes included new ways of organizing the lives of people, mainly the people who were slaves to not be slaves anymore. Some of the other changes that happened included new institutions in and out of the government. The last part of the quote states, “ÐMany of the changes begun during Reconstruction laid the groundwork for later revolutions.” That right there is the way that our everyday lives are. Most of the time we do something because someone else has done it and if it was not done recently it was most likely done at some point in time. Every person follows others even if they do not think that they do.
There were also many other things that happened during the “Gilded Age” that tarnished the time. One of those issues that was a major event that happened was, “A series of political developments on the national and regional stage made reconstruction Ðan unfinished revolution promising but not delivering true equality for newly freed African Americans.” (Divine 407). This made the newly freed African Americans very angry because
