Consider class relations in the United

the working class during and in the aftermath of the Civil War. How did big business and government seek to control
wealth through the Gilded Age? What forms
of resistance and rebellion emerged to challenge the dominant classes for

did Progressivism address these challenges?
Please focus your answer on the period 1863-1916.

needed to prevent class conflict? Please
