The Gilded Age in a Divided America
After the conclusion of the Civil War, 19th century America was still a country divided by race, place, gender, and class. Please develop an essay explaining how and why these divisions were perpetuated. Using Roediger’s Wages of Whiteness, Erik Larsen’s The Devil in the White City, Twain’s The Gilded Age, and other readings to date. Your paper should be 4-5 full pages with proper citations. As always, use examples from course readings and lectures to support your argument.
