Who did not share in the wealth of the growing nation?

Answer 1

Many marginalized groups, including Indigenous peoples, African Americans, and immigrants, did not share in the wealth of the growing nation, particularly during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Systemic discrimination, segregation, and exclusion from economic opportunities limited their ability to benefit from the nation’s prosperity. Additionally, women faced significant barriers to economic independence and access to resources. This disparity in wealth distribution has had lasting impacts on these communities.
