a good read on the mentalite in the us. in NineteenthCentury America—An excellent study in the an interesting exploration of the topics during the gilded age.
http://www.archiva.net/ushistoryreadings.html
First Second , before we embark on a readings course, I will need to have a list of the books that you have read in your courses. Working with your list, we can make sensible choices that will both appeal to your intellectual interests and fill the blanks. Once I have your bibliography, we will meet and draw up an individualized readings list. For my purposes (and yours as well), you will be required to submit six, brief (1-2 typed page) papers that reflect on the sort of questions listed above. In other words, you might write on the methodological contribution of a particular book or article or on the strengths and weaknesses of a book or article. You are particularly encouraged, however, to use these papers to make connections among different readings. You need to think about how one book relates to another in terms of historiography, methodology, and general approach. The papers are due at the meeting at which you are discussing the particular readings on which you have written. The timing of the six papers is up to you, but every other week would seem to make sense. The general pattern is to meet every other week.

For Richer SYNOPSIS: Click here to read the Sources for this article I. The Disappearing Middle When I was a teenager growing up on Long Island, one of my favorite excursions was a trip to see the great Gilded Age mansions of the North Shore. Those mansions weren't just pieces of architectural history. They were monuments to a bygone social era, one in which the rich could afford the armies of servants needed to maintain a house the size of a European palace. By the time I saw them, of course, that era was long past. Almost none of the Long Island mansions were still private residences. Those that hadn't been turned into museums were occupied by nursing homes or private schools. For the America I grew up in the America of the 1950's and 1960's was a middle-class society, both in reality and in feel. The vast income and wealth inequalities of the Gilded Age had disappeared. Yes, of course, there was the poverty of the underclass but the conventional wisdom of the time viewed that as a social rather than an economic problem. Yes, of course, some wealthy businessmen and heirs to large fortunes lived far better than the average American. But they weren't rich the way the robber barons who built the mansions had been rich, and there weren't that many of them. The days when plutocrats were a force to be reckoned with in American society, economically or politically, seemed long past. Daily experience confirmed the sense of a fairly equal society. The economic disparities you were conscious of were quite muted. Highly educated professionals middle managers, college teachers, even lawyers often claimed that they earned less than unionized blue-collar workers. Those considered very well off lived in split-levels, had a housecleaner come in once a week and took summer vacations in Europe. But they sent their kids to public schools and drove themselves to work, just like everyone else.

E-Mail This Article Published on Friday, February 8, 2002 by Common Dreams The New Gilded Age by Marty Jezer For another writing project I am reading about the Gilded Age, that period after the Civil War when corporations first established themselves as the principle engines of economic growth and the United States became the most powerful industrial nation in the world. Reading about this period, between 1865 and 1896, is like reading about Enron, politics and corporate America. “Everywhere there was close alliance between corrupt financiers and corrupt public officials, the historian James Truslow Adams wrote about the Gilded Age. In his 217-page report on Enron’s internal management, William C. Powers, Dean of the University of Texas law school, condemned the senior management of the bankrupt company as well as its lawyers and accountants for “self-enrichment” at the expense of its shareholders, and for “over-reaching in a culture that appears to have encouraged pushing the limits.” Is Enron an exceptional case of corporate greed? Or is it a more generalized example of how corporate managers manipulate the legal system to enrich themselves at the expense of their shareholders and workers even as they run their company into the ground?

Gilded Age
Ulysses S. Grant
Being a virgin to politics, he became the first president to be in office after the Civil War. He was previously a Union General who defeated General Lee at Appomatox Court House, which ended the Civil War. During Grants presidency, several scams passed through Congress. Grant was never proven to be involved with any of them. Also, the Panic of 1873 (overspeculation) came about in his reign. he served out two consecutive terms and was not renominated to run for a third. Thomas Nast Thomas Nast was a cartoonist for the New York Times and drew many famous political cartoons including one of Boss Tweed. The cartoon showed condemning evidence on the corrupt ring leader and he was jailed shortly afterwards. Horace Greely In 1872 the republicans renominated Grant and some of the "reform-minded" republicans left their party, creating the Liberal Republican party and nominating Greely, editor of the New York Tribune.

http://home.socal.rr.com/teacherteacher/page5.html
The Gilded Age was an era when America began to grow into a powerful, wealthy, industrialized country. It took place between 18701900. During this time, people began to look toward economic opportunity and material success as a central theme to American life and the defining factor to living the "American Dream."
The term "Gilded Age" came from Mark Twain and Dudley Warner in 1873. They were writing a book about the landscape of American politics. In this novel, they wanted to expose corruption and how it affected society at large. In addition, they did not believe that political parties could bring respectability, honor, and character back into the leadership of America. In short, the writings of Twain and Warner would help to define an era that was troublesome at best.
They wrote their book in an aggressive and graphic style. It forced the issue of how corruption and greed affected their political leaders and these same issues would destroy any long term prosperity for the American society: "The present era of incredible rottenness is not Democratic, it is not Republican, it is national. Politics are not going to cure moral ulcers like these, nor the decaying body they fester upon."
Even though the "Gilded Age" was an era in which greed and corruption seemed to dictate a politician's life there would also be strong counter-movements of political reform, political activism, and the further development of American culture: music, art, and literature.

Winter 1998 - 1999 (Vol. 21, No. 4)
Judith R. Johnson and Craig L. Torbenson, "Stories from the Heartland: African American Experiences in Wichita, Kansas."
Johnson and Torbenson, professors of history and geography respectively at Wichita State University, use some twenty-five oral histories as the basis for this study of Wichita's African American community through five decades. The interviews reveal a strong, deeply rooted African American presence in Wichita; and interestingly, but perhaps not surprisingly, they find that "while some of the more blatant examples of discrimination may have disappeared," Wichita "remains a divided city," with blacks concentrated in the city's northeast sector.
Robert S. LaForte, "Gilded Age Senator: The Election, Investigation, and Resignation of Alexander Caldwell, 1871-1873."
Corruption and "dirty" money are nothing new to Kansas or national political campaigns, as Professor LaForte reminds us in his study of one "Gilded Age" United States Senator from the Sunflower State. After enduring a legislative investigation in 1872 and a congressional inquiry in 1873, and less than two months after the state's senior senator, Samuel C. Pomeroy, failed in his bid for reelection because of corruption allegations, Alexander Caldwell resigned rather than face almost certain ouster by his Capitol Hill colleagues. "The Gilded Age, as [Mark] Twain and [Charles Dudley] Warner conceived it," concludes LaForte, "was in full bloom, and Kansas was making its contribution."
