The era of the Gilded Age was a time of expeditious economic and industrial growth. Nowadays much like back then, the Gilded age is causing the diversification of wealth and magnanimity, and immigration.

I think the division that people felt in the gilded age is still present in a lot of ways. The wealthy is very much privileged. They have more opportunities available. They are perceived as ‘better’ in society. I think this will always be the case. But in present day, the division isnt as apparent. Families who dont share the same wealth as others have a lot of programs and support systems around them that weren’t available in the time of the gilded age such as low income homes, EBT, easier access to education, etc.

Just like back then, they had to adapt slowly over the course of 30 years.
