| | Event: | SS-01 Industrial Giants: The Crises of the Gilded Age | | Dates: | 1/27, 2/3 | | Time: | 1:00 to 3:00 | | Category: | Spring2023-Seminar | | Location: | Zoom Teleconference | | Presenter: | Jared Day, PhD, Historian | This set of lectures covers the era from the end of post-Civil War Reconstruction to the Presidency of William McKinley. It focuses on the extraordinary industrial economy that emerged with its great industrial giants such as Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, and John D. Rockefeller. It also examines the political gridlock that tended to dominate these decades and the degree to which the concerns of the Civil War generation tended to dominate the political agenda. In addition, we will be exploring the impact of industrialization and America's emergence as a global economic and geo-strategic player.
