1865 to 1901The era
Reform era. From 1820 to 1865.
The Victorian era in America was known as the Gilded Age.
Gilded Age is a term coined by Mark Twain to describe the post-Reconstruction era.
The Gilded Age and the Progressive Era are linked by the social and economic challenges that arose from rapid industrialization and urbanization. The Gilded Age, marked by extreme wealth disparity and corporate power, set the stage for the Progressive Era, during which reformers sought to address issues like labor rights, women's suffrage, and government corruption. Progressives aimed to curb the excesses of the Gilded Age by advocating for social justice, regulatory reforms, and increased democratic participation. Together, these periods reflect the tension between economic growth and the need for social reform in American society.
The Gilded Age, which spanned from the 1870s to about 1900, is closely related to the Progressive Era, which followed it. The Progressive Era, from the 1890s to the 1920s, emerged as a response to the social and economic issues stemming from the rapid industrialization and inequality characteristic of the Gilded Age. During this time, reformers sought to address problems such as corruption, labor rights, and women's suffrage, aiming for a more equitable society.
In United States history, the Gilded Age was an era extending roughly from 1870 to 1900. It was a time of rapid economic growth, especially in the Northern and Western United States.

The Victorian era in America was known as the Gilded Age.
Gilded Age is a term coined by Mark Twain to describe the post-Reconstruction era.
The Reconstruction era was followed by the Post-Reconstruction era, also known as the Gilded age.
The post-Civil War era, often referred to as the Reconstruction Era, took place before the Gilded Age. The Reconstruction Era lasted from 1865 to 1877, focusing on the integration of formerly enslaved people into society and the rebuilding of the South. Following this period, the Gilded Age (approximately 1870s to 1900) was characterized by rapid industrialization, economic growth, and significant social changes in the United States.
Mark Twain described the period of the late 1800s in America as a Gilded Age because of the superficiality and corruption of the era.
