America took place from 1874 to 1901. This era was defined by extravagant displays of wealth and excess of America's upper-class in the post-Civil War/post-Reconstruction time. The rise of super-rich industrialists such as Andrew Carnegie, Henry Flagler, J.P. Morgan, Cornelius Vanderbilt and John D. Rockerfeller were products of the Second Industrial Revolution that took place in America's northeast. In response to such monopolies, union-foundation was at an all-time high with large ones being founded. Particularly Samuel Gompers and his American Federation of Labor, which numbered 1.7 million members in 1904 and 4 million in 1920.

Poll turnout was also extremely large during this time too with 90% of eligible voters frequently turning out to cast their decision.
