America stands at a dramatic crossroads:

The huge income gap between the 1% and the other 99% grows visibly wider.

Astounding new technologies are changing American lives.

Conflicts over U.S. military interventionism, the environment, and immigration dominate public debate.

 

Sound familiar? You might be surprised to know that these headlines were ripped, not from today's newspaper, but from newspapers over 100 years ago. These and other issues that characterize the early 21st century were also the hallmarks of the transformative periods known as the Gilded Age (1865-1900) and the Progressive Era (1900-1920).
