The scope of social reform movements during the Gilded Age (roughly 1870-1900) was characterized by a response to the stark inequalities and social issues stemming from rapid industrialization and urbanization. Key movements included labor reform advocating for workers' rights, women's suffrage pushing for voting rights, and efforts to address poverty and living conditions in urban areas. Additionally, the period saw the rise of the Progressive movement, which sought to address corruption in politics and promote social justice. Overall, these movements aimed to improve societal conditions and challenge the status quo influenced by industrial capitalism.
During the Gilded Age (approximately 1870-1900), the United States experienced a significant influx of immigrants, primarily from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as Asia. This period was characterized by rapid industrialization and urbanization, which created a high demand for labor in factories and on railroads. Immigrants often faced harsh living conditions, discrimination, and exploitation, yet they played a crucial role in shaping the American economy and culture. The era also saw the rise of nativist sentiments and restrictive immigration policies, culminating in laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.

There are several positive and negative aspects of the Industrial Revolution. Namely, it allowed people to stop working in primarily agricultural fields, and allowed them to move to the cities and work in factories, which typically paid well. A negative aspect was that there were no labor laws, so small children were made to work the same hours as adults, doing dangerous jobs.

The immigrants lives were horrible. The streets would be filled with filth and most would be living a hand to mouth existence. They would have jobs in factories that were dark and unsafe.
