Reconstruction was sometimes referred to as the "Gilded Age" because, while it marked significant progress in civil rights and the rebuilding of the South after the Civil War, it also exposed deep social and economic inequalities. The term "gilded" suggests a superficial layer of prosperity that masked underlying issues like corruption, exploitation, and widespread poverty. During this period, industrial growth and wealth accumulation were concentrated in the hands of a few, leading to stark contrasts between the rich and the poor. The era was characterized by both remarkable advancements and significant challenges, reflecting the complexities of post-war American society.
