Analyze the ways in which farmers and industrial workers responded to industrialization in the Gilded Age (1865-1900)
NOTE–Your essay’s response should focus on the workers & farmers and how they were effected by rapid industrialization in the late 1800s. The essay should NOT examine the “Robber Barons” or big Industrialists themselves!
