Industrialization

1870 to 1900. Industrialization in the United States is also called the Gilded Age, which began after the American Civil War and overlaps with Reconstruction (which ended in 1877). During this time period, the United States saw great advances in agriculture, industry and technology. This rapid growth coincided with the industrial revolution that was also occurring in Great Britain during the Victorian Era.
