A. Consider the following quotation from Robert Hunt (1877):
" . . . without one element, all skill and all mechanical talent would have been wasted,
and with it nearly all things have been possible. That element has been, and is,
`American push.'"
Competition and a drive toward innovation are recurring themes in U.S. history. From the perspective of Robert Hunt, for example, competition and ambition were American virtues. Do you agree that the freedom to compete made a consistent, positive contribution to U.S. development in the Gilded Age? As you frame your answer, consider the effects of competition in social, economic, and political spheres.
B. Mark Twain coined the term "gilded age" to describe the decades of the 1890s and 1900s. Despite the shining and significant achievements of the United States, Twain characterized American civilization as cheap and flawed at its core. Do you agree with Twain's assertions or do you believe that his claim was too extreme? Feel free to suggest a more accurate, yet catchy, label for the same era in US history.
C. Business leaders of the late nineteenth century have been characterized both as greedy and unscrupulous “robber barons” and as great “captains of industry” whose entrepreneurial skill and tactics produced economic growth. Which view do you agree with more and why?
D. Evaluate the federal government’s policies toward Native American nations when settling the West during the late 19th century. Were these policies an appropriate way to deal with the “Indian problem” or could conflict have been entirely avoided?
