The era from 1870 to 1890 was called the gilded age because it suggested that outward appearances were misleading, and one needed to look under the surface to understand what was happening. true / false.

True

Explanation:

The term Gilded Age was coined by Mark Twain decades after. He named this era the Gilded Age because it was an age seemingly full of prosperity, but behind the surface, there was great poverty and corruption.

On one hand, during the Gilded Age, real wages rose 60% in the U.S., railways were built from coast to coast, and cities in the north became industrial powerhouses.

On the other hand, a large number of European immigrants lived in abject poverty in the cities, and the South continued to be poor, with former African Slaves mostly becoming agricultural workers in conditions frequently similar to slavery in all but name.

native american contribution: the patriots from britain learn how to hunt, fish, and introduce diversity within cultures.

african americans: indirectly introduced the idea of diversity to americans. africans coming to america because of slavery taught white americans that people come from different backgrounds and colors. it also built america's economic stability for a great period of time. 

women: make america what it is today. there are some societies that are in the world currently that do not give women the same right we give women here in the united states. because women have rights here in the united states, other countries' citizens strive to come to america, especially women, since they have equal rights in the united states. this is important because america is seen and desired by many in the world. 

children: children are our future. we learn from our elders and carry out things the same or differently learning from america's history. we continue tradition and change tradition if it is needed.
