Politics

Politics was both competitive and partisan in the Gilded Age. Generally, the Presidents in this era are not remembered for lasting achievements, although there were some. You will read more about the political aspects of the age in the readings document for this module. There is a document about Gilded Age Presidents called "The Presidency in Eclipse" that outlines the presidencies of the Gilded Age. Links to an external site. Also, view the two following presentations on Gilded Age Politics and Populism and the Election of 1896.
