Chapter 24

So today we are going to discuss Red Cloud and the Dawes Act, and then move onto Chapter 24: INDUSTRY COMES OF AGE.

Homework - answer the following:


Work, Exchange, and Technology: How did technological and corporate innovations help to vastly increase industrial production?  What was the impact of these innovations on the lives of working people?


Politics and Power: How did the political culture of the Gilded Age reflect the emergence of new corporate power?  How successful were the challenges to this power?  Why did challenges to this power fail?


Environment and Geography: In what ways, and to what extent, was the West “opened” for further settlement through connection to eastern political, financial, and transportation systems?
